The Lavender Chicken Caucus

by Bryan

These are the Democrats in Congress who, when faced with the possibility of harsh words from Republicans, give away the rights of the American people.

You’re giving the sublime Lavender a bad name when you lump it in with this crowd of cowards.

3 Michael { 06.23.08 at 11:05 pm }: Barbara Lee continues to represent me with great distinction.

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."
