News Roundup

Oy… the news has been particularly awful over the past few days.  Except for this snippet:


which is newsworthy only because of its unexpectedness.

But the rest has been the customary shit show.

not to brag, but my Butterball is already in the freezer, on the advice of some old contacts in the supermarket business. Do ye all likewise.


the really awful thing is that Mummy Dearest hadn’t taught him how to spell his name before he started school.

From the Heart Of Stone Department:


and on his way to court, even, thus saving us all the cost of the formality trial.


what was the middle bit, again?

From the annals of WTF SEX?
