I had a lot of respect for Elizabeth Edwards.  I never had respect for Ann Coulter…
…now they’re in the same league.

Here’s a perfect example of how our local leaders are doing a disservice to the community:

Just got an email from Matt over at Right Angle Blog that he’ll be hosting a chat tonight over at RAB during the Democrats Competitive Press Conference. Here’s the link to the chat room. See you there.
