THE WING-NUTS
WILL FUND THEIR ORACLES, YOU CAN BE SURE: The right wing will fund their
oracles, that's a given. We are told that we will always be without means, never
know stability, never be able to provide. One more lie, after another. We know
what to do with a budget. We know how to apply it, how to grow something of
value to the community with it. Let's give them something to talk about. Thank
you all sincerely. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News
