The Globalist puts arsenic in your tea and lead in your pencil. The Globalist rounds up infants at night and returns them with chips in their heads. The Globalist has always been at war with you. The Globalist tells you no; you may not have your steel belted radials, now either go off and […]
In the Pacific Northwest you can get quite depressed in winter, with its clouds and its rain. Sure, the plants are all green but what does that mean when you’re slowly going insane? The locals don’t mind the lack of sunshine it sure beats the snow, they insist. But at least when its cold […]
