The University of Iowa College Republicans are fucking hilarious. For the second year they’re holding their “Conservative Coming Out Week.” Ha! I guess that’s about right.

LADY ASHLEY HOTEL MONTANA MADRID ARRIVING SUD EXPRESS TOMORROW LOVE JAKE. That seemed to handle it. That was it. Send a girl off with one man. Introduce her to another to go off with him. Now go and bring her back. And sign the wire with love. That was it all right. I went in […]

How can we sustain this war? One hundred thousand dollars every thirty seconds? Where does it come from? Where will it come from? Fuck this country, its politicians. Fuck, I’m so sick of this place. Federal agents kick in the door and the credit card company is taking all I own. What happened? Fuck you […]
