All Torn Up
I cannot get the image out of my mind. It keeps playing back in slow motion, like Joe Montana hurling a football into the end zone to Jerry Rice. But 70,000 fans are not screaming. Instead, millions of Americans are horrified. Nancy Pelosi is ripping the State of the Union Address to shreds. Slowly. Deliberately.Continue reading “All Torn Up”
