Bill Whittle on Goat Rodeos and Three Years of Barack Obama
I admit, I love a good political rant. Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of them and I’ve found that those who do it best — Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller, and Bill Whittle sit at the top of that short list — combine passion with reason and humor. Most folks who step to the [...]
