Next year is going to be very interesting.
The presidential primaries and general election will be more melodramatic than an episode of Jersey Shore.
MTV producers in their wildest dreams couldn’t come up with some of the stuff we’ve seen already: Ni*gerhead, vaccine-induced retardation, Herman Cain.
Wait ’til it’s down to just two.
But 2012 will [...]

Lessons Learned in 2011 and Implications for 2012

There, I said it.
