I have to say there is nothing more disgusting than watching a bunch of Rs interact. I had the misfortune of being at the gym when the R candidates were having their debate.

ICE Director John Morton attributed this jump to the agency’s newly revamped discretionary policy that allows agents to focus their resources on removing illegal immigrants they deem to be a more imposing threat to society over those who are in the country illegally but are not violating other laws.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has been whining incessantly lately about President Obama traveling on a bus made in Canada. This morning, McCain changed his talking points — right after learning that his own bus was made north of the border. Oops.
