Well, it seems that there was a meeting of all of the major left-of-center kooks this weekend in Atlanta. Here’s a sampling of what you missed: “It is indeed criminal to steal an election and within two years run up a federal deficit of half-a-trillion dollars, send our young people over to Iraq to die [...]
