    Make no mistake Stephanie Miller isn’t progressive. Stephanie Miller is just person who wants to be in show business. The Stephanie Miller Show is not insightful or clever. Stephanie Miller throws meat at “Liberals” & Democrats. What she does is easy.

    This assertion also applies to Hal Sparks & John Fugelsang these guys are not funny and not progressive they are just a couple of desperate clowns who will take any avenue available into show business.

    So, Yeah… That is all for now.

  3. Barofsky is saying what we suspected happened. Sad confirmation.

    The Government we have had for the past 30 years isn’t working for the people, just the rich.

    Things are going to have to get a whole lot worse. It’s hard to imagine a more realistic game changer. People are going to have to be forced to eat shit before they understand that turning the lot across the street into a community garden is the only plausible, long term solution.

  6. Very, very scary thought…..
