Seems like a good time to air-out the old in-box, before these things fall off the desk completely … The Las Vegas water grab sucks. But this says it much better. The Clinton campaign is turning into Monty Python’s Quest for the Holy Grail “black knight” scene — it’s just a flesh wound! Thanks Gleaner!…

According to the CDC, one in four teen American girls has an STI (that’s sexually transmitted infection to those my age and older who didn’t know what that meant).
