Bury Your Head in the Sand
maybe if we ignore it, it'll all go away... Hey American buddies, comment ça va, heins? As per usual, I send you friendly, yet increasingly weirded-out, greetings from Canada—you know, that inscrutable, chilly, socialist hellhole located somewhere up there. In case your memory needs a jog, we're the nation that you don't notice until something … Continue reading Bury Your Head in the Sand
American Rhetoric is Whack
and conservatives are connoisseurs of hate American Rhetoric. Yeah, American rhetoric is whack. American rhetoric is all about "testing the limits of free speech." Let me tell you something.

Is Trump the Real Enemy of Democracy?
Or is it the American People?
