Posted on 05/05/2015 by Wichita Lineman Was A Song I Once Heard

And so here we are on the verge of a General Election, and yes, this is just what everybody needs, another mouthy dickhead with a blog writing a highly speculative article about it, because there haven’t been nearly enough of … Continue reading →
