You Know What? Fuck McCain ...

Posted on October 21, 2008

Boom!

Posted on October 17, 2008
This is how you turn McCain's one decent line from the entire debate against him, completely neutralizing it. And ... yeah, I'm even getting kind of tired of politics, now. And I didn't think it was possible this election...
