Gah, The Secret. That book is responsible for more jackassed horseshittery...

On the contrary, I don’t really have a problem with people pointing out that Hillary’s past is riddled with problematic connections. It’s true. She has a lot of them.

Which is why my company is called “Technical Not False Co. LLC.”

Amber said she liked Ayn Rand in 2007 when she was 21. I would think (or rather hope) she grew out of it. Here is what she said:
