It's truly amazing what one can learn from an individual's FBI file.

Should this story be captioned "dateline:Chappaqua"?

Ping!

Hillary!'s new blog outreach point man got in trouble with the SEC for pumping and dumping worthless stock. Why am I not shocked?

It just showa ta go ya.

The candidates are almost all flawed. In serious ways.

These aren't minor eccentricities Boys and Girls, this is deadly serious.

You may despise our current President, but with your track record, what chance is there that your current "Heartthrob" is not just another wet dream?
