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.”

A John McCain campaign ad released yesterday (see HERE) distorted Barack Obama’s support for Illinois legislation aimed at protecting children from pedophiles.
