No.

Someone on Gawker said it’s her first day on the job and she’s already saved taxpayers some money.

My conservative little cousin says he will move to Canada if Hill wins. I was like, dude, really? Conservative bastion of misogyny, Canada?

Apparently they “wiped their computers” before they left. I’m interested to see what comes out of that recovery operation.

To be honest, I can’t tell if this little town (population: under 800) is boasting racist brass who don’t want to work for a black woman or if these employees are just rankled at the idea of working for someone other than Ramsey, who’s been their boss for probably as long as some people have been working. Maybe it’s a…
