Quiet productivity is hard on subscription rates, but this kind of drama catches people's attention.

You will never convince me that the media's penchant for downplaying successes (the Obama/Biden administrations) while overlooking insane and erratic behavior during election seasons is anything less than the desire to have things to write about when the batshit candidate wins the office.

Watch out for the leopards you self-serving f*cks.
