I’m really not feeling these last 2 caption contests. I guess I just can’t find the funny in these people this week.
When they were the wacky minority party of no sprinkled with a few quiet adults, it was one thing. We live in a diverse and colorful state.
But now they’re just blatantly shrugging off the collateral damage from their pushbutton war games.
Meh.
