We on the Right know that all of these things that we see so clearly would have been reported with vicious ... http://www.redstate.com/ofjay/2009/02/11/lies-damned-lies-and-chicago-politics/ To begin, some Ancient wisdom, from none other than Aesop himself: A GREAT conflict was about to come off between the Birds and the Beasts.
