My Senator Knows Geography!

I would love to have seen the whole speech…but just seeing the time lapse of the visual only is quite impressive. I’m sure he practiced, but whenever I tried to draw the US in a game of Pictionary, it ended up looking like a deformed amoeba. Even with practice, I don’t think I could [...]

Yet more evidence that we need instant runoff elections. [...]
