It is certainly unpatriotic to suggest that our “exceptional” Nation would condone and encourage the sexual abuse of children by our noble partners in the struggle against Terrorist Extremism just as it would be to imply that we would deliberately bomb Hospitals, First Responders, and Civilians or support a systematic campaign by our upstanding and …

This isn’t Wizard Tiddlywinks at Hogwarts
If you search Google News for Jeremy Corbin today you’ll find that J.K.

Rattle Shaking Shamen
Look, you will never, ever hear from me that Economics is any more a “science” than the obeah divination practiced by the late lamented Ms. Cleo (Youree Dell Harris of Los Angeles California who left the Seattle stage after her failed production of Supper Club Cafe).

To Anacreon In Heaven
As you know I think Throwball an exceptionally stupid sport played by brain and steroid damaged people who without their not as remunerative as you might think contracts would find gainful employment as muggers and Mob enforcers.
