Political crap, serious stuff

I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey.

Well, thank “Bob” our intellectual betters in Boston have finally chimed in on the UAH faculty slaying. And this Northeastern U. criminologist comes uncomfortably close to justifying the alleged killer’s rampage. After all, Amy Bishop has a Harvard Ph.D., and the prospect of not being offered tenure by a buncha hicks in th’ sticks was [...]
