Much is being made of California Representative Maxine Water’s recent town hall speech in which she called out the “Tea Party” as the source of America’s problems and encouraged all party members to visit the infernal regions.

To arrive at work on time, drivers should: a) leave home a half-hour early b) scout alternate routes in advance c) play […]
At the risk of trolling the rumor mill, this one’s too good to pass. Consider the crushing implications for the uptown lunch bunch’s collective ego and bottom-line if the latest flash bomb to hit BAC somehow proves true.
