URGENT: BOMB IN DETROIT

The opening show of Charlie Sheen’s “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour in Detroit was a bomb of historic proportions. People who paid as much as $65 a ticket were booing and walking out. One self-described Sheen fan who came all the way from Toronto for the show said: “He’s making a fool of himself. Is […]

Is The Wisconsion Union Self-Aware Enough To Grasp That It Is Behaving In The Taliban Fashion?

by Smitty (h/t Protein Wisdom) Here in Afghanistan, the various terrorist networks use night letters to intimidate the populace.
