Volumes that you fill from your own head? :dubious:

I had no real comments to make. I thought it was very funny and wanted to share it, as we are beginning the long, brutal, mostly pointless and disgusting Presidential Election cycle where we have 18 potential Republican candidates, the vast majority of which aren’t serious candidates and are only in it for the short term to rake in some cash and market themselves for speaking engagements.

She isn’t trying to run this year, but being from Minnesota, my mind goes to Michele Bachmann and I can totally picture this being her.

If you’re seeking the opinions of others it’s nice if you share yours to start off.  
Just seems self evident to me, is all.

Did the comic change? Because the one that the link goes to seems pretty stupid to me.
