Bay of Fundie

Republican Fantasy I’m going to try something different here. The video embedded below is an hour long. I know when I’m surfing the web and trying to get caught up on all of the blogs I read, I frequently will skip over the longer (i.e. 10-minute) YouTube videos, no matter how highly recommended they are.
