I would call it “Real Hawkwives of New York.”

More depressing animal stories on a conservative political site that is already dealing with crazed liberals.

Why?

Frank Barone:"Didn't I teach you anything, you gotta problem with your woman you don't go out and get another one. Then you got two problems."
