Point of View • No wonder fatigued conservatives might see Donald Trump as a dream date these days.
This rag-tag group of passionless Republicans that bored America and lost in the last presidential election is back and seemingly determined to extinguish the flame of common-sense conservatism that is burning brightly in 2011.

The McDonald's Happy Meal is a great idea.
The Post-It Note is a great idea.
The paper towel roll that comes in half sheets is a great idea.
