Remember the whole birth control costs rising 900% thing? Remember how all it would take is an easy vote in Congress to fix it (at no cost to taxpayers, since it would just reestablish an existing program)?

It takes a special kind of evil to be able to mock the recently deceased but Fox News radio host John Gibson proved he was just such a troll with his Jan. 22 radio show in which he mocked actor Heath Ledger’s passing with lame Brokeback Mountain jokes. Really? This is what passes as professional…
Well kids, it’s almost here. Tomorrow is the big CaucusFest. Are you ready? Actually, I have a little confession to make. I’m not ready either.
