Seven years ago, on a normal Tuesday, September 11, 2001, I went to work as normal. The Wife had the day off, and was watching Fox and Friends when I left.
That was a normal Tuesday in 2001.

Now that former Massachusetts Governor Willard Mitt Romney has withdrawn his candidacy, it pretty much looks like Arizona Senator John Sidney McCain III will be the Republican Party nominee for President.
On the Democratic side, though, Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton are battling it out.
Some say that if the Democratic race drags on, [...]

You know what’s funny about the New Hampshire primary results?
All the polls showed Barack Hussein Obama leading Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton in that state … and Clinton up and beat Obama.
Okay, I’ll admit it. The conspiracy theorist in me says it was all a setup to make Clinton “the comeback kid II.” But that’s silly.
Here’s [...]
