Karen Kraushaar made this horse ‘very uncomfortable,’ according to friends of the horse, who requested anonymity “I love Cain’s story.

So … How Was Your Monday?

Mine could have been better, as I was compelled to endure the mortification of reading these sidebar headlines at AOSHQ: Iowa social conservatives, who are practically Kos diarists, urge Cain to clear the air.
