I remember when that hideous dumb on crime omnibus bill was first tabled and the noon hour “Free For All” show, starring Ric Petersen, Aaron Rand and of course, Tea-baggin’ Tommy Schnurmacher, on CJAD was discussing that very lunacy.

Jymn — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 21:14:13 +0000

Southwest Airlines is the product of a true southern sensibility. Meaning there is little sense – or heart – in anything it does. It represents all that is ugly about the US south. Especially lately.
