Filed Under Politics | 30 Comments

Former US Marine drill instructor turned actor R. Lee Ermey recently appeared at a Toys for Tots/USO benefit, and he quickly emptied the clip on the socialist Hope & Change experiment. I changed the start code to skip some of the intro so as to get right to the good stuff, but you can hit [...]

Filed Under Politics | 15 Comments

When Tingles asks of Obama, “if it exists, why not put it out,” I think he’s referring to Obama’s long-form birth certificate — you never can be too sure when it comes to Captain Legthrill.
