So y’all are familiar with the New-Age movement where any old bullshit is accepted and respected as a religion, right?
Well, some of these loonies think the world’s going to end in 2012 based only on the misinterpretation of a Mayan Calandar.
Okay…so there’s a Facebook Group called ‘Shut Up, The World Won’t End in 2012‘ which [...]

The other day, I went on a rant about PETA acting overly sanctimonious by sending President Obama a flytrap because he had the audacity to swat a fly on national TV.
