Weiner has got to go

David Safier

by David Safier Yesterday I called Anthony Weiner stupid but said he shouldn't resign, based on what I knew then. Today it looks like he was stupid on steroids. The silly/naughty pics he sent to women are one thing, but the lengths he went to cover his online relationships up shows a lack of basic … Read more

Sex, Lies and Social Media

AZ BlueMeanie

Posted by AzBlueMeanie: Boy, did I ever pick the wrong day to get ill and have to take a sick day.

David Safier
