Editorials

I haven't posted any editorials on here. I have posted some on my facebook but I am thinking of adding some to here. Since I am sure people are tired of me taking up their minifeed with my liberal bias. I don't think I will add a whole lot of commentary but maybe I will.

Pulling the Curtain on Palin by E. J. Dionne Jr.
