Because back in the early 2000’s there were plenty of folks who warned us bad things would happen to the US Navy. And now in 2017 and the nearby years before, those very bad things have happened. Especially the tragic incidents on the USS Jonh McCain and USS Fitzgerald. That

The triumph of the will.
I have had to spend the week back in Shopping Mall USA this week. As a result I have gotten to watch the royal mess that is the Republican national convention. It’s been a very graphic display of how far America has fallen, and how ludicrous the GOP has become.

If ever there was a good two weeks to be disconnected from the world-I think the last two weeks might have been it. Portugal beat France. The whole Dallas mess. The FBI director and his press conference, and of course, the vulgar talking yam saying the normally stupid things he

Because saving money in the wake of the Brexit disaster is for pussies, right? Actually, I paid for this 6 months ago, long before I knew that 37.5% of the British people were going to fuck over the world. And since they did, I thought I would go to the

June 23rd this year is a big day. Its a big day because the United Kingdom is about to potentially make a really stupid decision and leave the EU. ( A really stupid decision). It’s also a day that I made a really stupid personal decision and it set the

John Oliver explains in good form why the UK should leave the shitty politics , as well as the political assassinations, to their crazy American cousins on the wrong side of the Atlantic: Since we have a British satellite system, we are getting to see a lot of the debate
