An Embarrassment Is An Understatement

Political Food Fight

The "debate" seemed like I was reliving a 6th grade cafeteria food fight at La Mesa Spring Valley Elementary School. Why can't so many of my old and dear friends see that this is not about Blue or Red? Even if it was, are these two the best that either party can vomit up to …
