My fellow Americans: I’m not positive why I started things out that way this Independence Day. I guess it’s just that I’ve just always really, really wanted to say that, you know? Sounds so very presidential. Oh, I get it, I couldn’t be further from being an even remotely electable ...
I’m not afraid of them as a species, per say. I mean, some of them are quite remarkable. Elegant, glorious, beautiful — majestic, even. Then there are the other cretins. Sinister. Dirty. Creepy. Freaking scary to the core, yo. I mean, let’s be real. You can call them Aves as a ...
