Just how dumb are Americans? The evidence appears to be mounting by the day. If it’s not people who think Godzilla is real in California, then it’s the ultra-nationalists who think the United States flag should be worshiped as a religious cult idol. No matter what, I cant seem to escape the fucking stupidity! It’s…

Wow! Really? Such insane garbage does nothing but confuse and muddle the…

The 2016 presidential campaign is ratcheting into gear, and already I’m questioning whether my stomach can handle the vitriol. Depending on who I’m talking to, I could be a baby-killing, communist feminazi, or a right-wing Neanderthal nut job; although, according to both of those viewpoints, I’m most likely a lazy, confused, non-voting slacker who, by…
