Steinem [...]

ALTERed State of Unconsciousness »

One thing I have had to learn to accept during this nomination process is that for some reason the Cultists just keep getting stupider. It must be a side effect from all the Cult-Aide they have imbibed. Maybe it is like absinthe. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling all over and lifts you with [...]
