By Beth David, Editor Aiyaiyaiy! It’s springtime, somebody tell Mother Nature. I think she’s drunk again. Maybe she should go run the FBI, or the Department of Warmongers.

From the Editor 04-09-26
By Beth David, Editor He just keeps getting more and more vile by the minute. He threatened to destroy a “whole civilization.” It’s like he’s watching Star Trek or Star Wars or something.
