Today's The Big Day!

"Barry's Infomercial"

In addition to going to my usual sources to read responses to the Barack Obama half-hour, less than a week to go “infomercial”, I went to a fairly popular right-wing blog called Little Green Footballs to see what kind of response the speech got there.  Just like my conversation with the library technician from the […]
