Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment

Isn’t the mainstream media getting into enough trouble because of Photoshop? Now CBS is using it to make Katie Couric look slimmer.

Now we’ve got a creepy dangerous nut case, who was brought to the United States, who should be in Bangkwang finding Jesus with the help of fellow crazies wielding bamboo dildos in an overcrowded cell that reeks [...]
