Herman Cain: He’s In It To Win It

Late Tuesday night, I had about 45 minutes of frustrated confusion when California writer Jim Henson sent a couple of Twitter messages to Shane Vander Hart and me: My reaction to that — knowing that such a rumor could have no basis in fact — was something like, “WTF?” To which Henson replied: Well, you can’t just […]

A. Second Only to the Bible

Q. Is Seize Freedom by Thaddeus McCotter the greatest book in all human history?

To my surprise, Pawlenty sprang to life. He spent the next four minutes […]
