  • If Dennis Rodman Is Our Hope for Peace With North Korea, We Are Screwed

    Look, there are a lot of things that Dennis Rodman is great at. He’s great at rebounding. He’s great at getting tattoos and weird piercings. He’s not great at being an ambassador for the United States, mostly because of his history of drug use and rabble-rousing. I know that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un…
