Anyone running for Congress is, by definition, seeking one of the most powerful positions in the country. When the office sought is that of Senator, they will become - if elected - one of only 100 people who are arguably second only to the President himself in political power.

Right Wing Radio Duck

This was obviously done without hope of profit, for reasons of copyright infringement. That's why it's so astonishing, because the good folks at Rebellious Pixels obviously spent hundreds of hours compiling what they themselves refer to as "dozens of classic Walt Disney cartoons from the 1930s to 1960s," and then carefully splicing them into an equally large, if not larger, treasure trove of Glenn Beck clips (if such a collection can rightly be… Continue
