    Years ago, when dinosaurs roamed free and I was in high school, there was a girl that lied so much, my friends and I jokingly began calling her “Hovercraft.” The joke was, because she lied so much, it was conceivable that she would come to school one day saying that she’d just arrived on a…

  • Mar-a-Lago Served Rotten Meat, but the White House Is a Dump?

    At this point, the only way President Vladimir TrumpPutin could disrespect the White House and America more is if he took a helicopter to the top of the Statue of Liberty and pissed on it.
