Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

This is too, too funny.

The morning gang on Fox News Channel chortled among themselves the other day at the thought of some dimwitted intern trying to find video of the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858.

But they had nothing to say about the graphic on the screen showing black abolitionist Frederick Douglass rather than U.S. Sen. Stephen A. Douglas.
