“I hate to disagree with a sports maven like you, Frank, but the field for this event is nothing if not a disappointment, and no matter how much lipstick you put on this pig, it’s still a pig.” — gadfly

About “Tinker Gets Nod Again From Emily’s List,” Jackson Baker’s article concerning support for 9th District congressional challenger Nikki Tinker from the political action committee Emily’s List:

How sad. It’s everything I fought against when I was younger, and it’s painful to see that reverse sexism is considered acceptable.”
