Onward Cultural Warriors, slipping on banana peels!
In this week’s entry in Right Wing Insanity, we have…Dr. Seuss. I shit you not. This one has been amazing in its dishonesty and stupidity all at the same time. Here’s the summary I put up on Facebook: 1. Dr. … Continue reading

Liberatopia isn’t seeming like much of a topia these days
