The Atlantic generally goes toward the left, just like ants do. But they actually have a pretty balanced article on Erick Erickson and his interests. Like most centered conservatives, he advocates for keeping a sense of humor, which is something that is generally lacking among the spittle-and-bile-spewing extreme Leftists.
When you as a conservative go out there and pound your fist on the table and say, ‘They’re coming to get me,’ who wants to say, ‘Yeah, I’m coming to your side’? I mean, be happy!
And that's exactly the right attitude.
Personally, I've been thinking of buying Boner and McConnell each a pair of neuticles. But then, a lot of people don't quite get my sense of humor. They probably wouldn't, either.
