I just heard on Fox News Channel that a federal appeals court in San Francisco has declared that the good old “Pledge of Allegiance” is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and cannot be recited in a SCHOOL! What the fuck is going on over there in the Land of the Fruits, Nuts and Flakes?

UPDATE: Court seeks to overturn a [...]

Review: Atomic Twister

Tweet

Signal to Noise Rating: 25%

(Ok, I lied… I never made it to see Star Wars AOTC. Time and “soicumstance” conspired against me, so I went to work instead.)
