In Congress Assembled
At long last, at least one man rises to stand against the monstrous injustices being perpetrated in our name by the unspeakable abomination otherwise known as the 111th United States Congress: A.I.G.link. Good on you, Mr. DeSantis, jolly good.

I may well have to add Unimagined to The Queue: tourlink.
