The wingnuts have been in an uproar over a “news article” posted by some group called African Press International, in which Michelle Obama allegedly calls the organization and goes on a rampage. Some of the more notable journalists on the right have reported this is entirely false, yet the wingnut hysteria continues. Here’s what they […]

The stupidity surrounding the traditional media is mind numbing. They are expecting the first night of the convention to have all the excitement of some death cage match.
