Top Comment of the Day: Fort Boise (RE: Huckleberries interviews A.J. Balukoff) -- "The only thing wrong with being a liberal is that narrow-minded political hacks have done such a great job of demonizing the label. Take your pick of which of 150 achievements of liberalism that your're not in favor of, from the 40-hour work week to modern civilization. It's been such a smashing success, in fact, that self-serving plutocrats have been able to convince people to vote against their own self-interest, baiting the hook with lower taxes and let the devil take the hindmost who doesn't recognize how we built all that we have and enjoy."
