Today's outcome is the worst of all scenarios. Not only are our rights being taken away and Americans are being forced to do something we don't want to do,

Republicans Lose the Cutest Religious Zealot in Presidential Race

Rick Santorum has dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination for president, and no one is very surprised by that. In fact, it’s pretty amazing that he got as far as he did with his myopic platform. Does anyone know what he thinks of besides abortion? Anyway, the field narrows. With the suspension of Santorum’s campaign, however, we lost one of the cutest candidates we’ve seen for a while. I know, slightly ferret-ish but still an attractive man. Mitt Romney, the presumptive candidate is a good-looking guy, too, but there’s a blankness there, no sparkle in the eye indicating maybe some fire in the belly.

Today, when you heard the news that former PA senator Rick Santorum dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, didn’t it seem like Rick had been campaigning forever? Remember when he announced, and his candidacy had that new-car smell on June 6, 2011, before he became the quotable Santorum. Back then, America felt fresher, seemed less cynical. Bread was cheaper. People didn’t lock their doors. You still had your baby teeth. What was life like back in those days?
1. Gas cost an average of $3.78 a gallon, a whole 14 cents cheaper than it is today.
2. The day after he announced,
