Which makes me think the website is run by time traveling necromancers.

I thought arch-mage Traven banned necromancers?

It's a viral for that sawmill talking picture, isn't it?

Who is that guy in the picture above Lincoln's name?

Really didn't have to go too far for this. Change the names replace anachronisms in any one of the thousand requests for donations I have received this election. It writes itself. What gets me is I ended up on 6 or 7 progressive mailing lists all of them looking from $3 to $5 to support their cause. Can't wait until 7 November. It must be murder in a swing states.

It's murder even in Massachusetts, where Crossroads Whoever keeps calling about what a terrible person Elizabeth Warren is. Imagining election season in Ohio or Florida gives me an ulcer.

That is really funny. I love where the donate links send you.
