“Yesterday, of course, on Fox News commentator Glenn Beck said that he believes President Obama is a racist. Well, to be fair, every time you watch Glenn Beck, it does get a little easier to hate white people.” – Conan O’Brien “Big kegger at the White House tomorrow.

Michael Littlejohn, a resident of Brooklyn NY, purchased a replica of a Revolutionary War flintlock […]
