Wow. She’s a moron.
Seriously, if you are thinking of voting for these clowns, watch this video. If it sounds familiar, you’ve heard it all on Fox. More advice: STOP WATCHING FOX!

This has been in most of my profiles for-almost-ever (since the Interwebs took off) along with my favorite and oh-so-appropriate quote:

WaPo Poll: Which Region Has The Worst Drivers? →
weliveindc:
Obviously the worst drivers in the region goes without saying (cough, Maryland) but just in case you want a more scientific study….
I actually live in MD and am probably considered to be one of the worst by some of the terrible drivers I see waiting to go when they have the right of way, not moving until the green light filament has reached at least 1500° F and one or more folks are...
