Obama offers cuts at Copenhagen
Clive Crook's blog —
Authority: 464

Sarah Palin, far more likeable than Dobbs in my view, probably belongs in a similar category, though she is [...]11 hours ago -

By Noel Bagwell November 25, 2009 So, I’m reading Arguing With Idiots (very, very slowly; in fact, the reading has come to a stand-still, as I prep for finals).

Long overdue and much needed. Along with his co-sponsorship of Ron Paul’s bill to audit the Federal Reserve (HR 1207 and S 604), this seems like another winning issue for Grayson.
