You Won't See Me Turn My Back

Molly I & I are not really back yet; we are very grateful for all the kind words about my mom, humbled, even. In times like these, time is short, but here is something that came across the transom despite all interdictions. It's to do with Glenn Beck's ...

Grid, Off

Late Night: Lou Dobbs Likely to Annoy Nation in New Capacity

WedThersday! How’s your mom doing? Like all turds, Lou Dobbs will always float to the surface. I can’t imagine a future for Lou Dobbs that ends well for us. Well, maybe if someone remembers to flush. The vast left wing conspiracy has snarked another ...

Deranged Idiot Derangement Syndrome
