When one completely childish, reactionary and amateurish challenge deserves another.

Believe it. Nothing would have us whip out our check book and fire some cashe McCain’s way quicker than this.

Nearly 10,000 of the biggest donors to Republican candidates and causes across the country will probably receive a foreboding “warning” letter in the mail next week.

This is funny. It really is. We welcome, though, more of this lefty piss-antism and we sincerely regret we lack the appropriate amount of scratch to crack the “Book of 10,000” where, if we were lucky enough to receive this letter, we would issue a public challenge to Matzzie to meet us out by the bike racks after school for his well-deserved ass-kicking.

As the homeowner states, he didn't go to college so web sites like this are a valuable tool in helping achieve that subtle balance between contrived desperation and buck-passing.
