Strange timing.

Cheney just passed away.

Does Venezuela suddenly have "weapons of mass destruction"?

Is there a ship named "Maine" that is about to explode?
Americans are largely opposed to attacking Venezuela.

Rest in peace Todd Snider.

He gave us far and away the best #grunge song.

The last NBA game I watched was coached by Lenny Wilkens.

Rest in peace.

How does one pronounce Czolgosz anyway?
Tbh, I'd bet the average number of presidential assassins (both successful and attempted) most people would recognise the names of would be 2.5 - virtually everyone will know Booth and Oswald, a decent number will also know Hinckley, very few will know any others.

Damn, y'all!

I saw Kenny Loggins trending #1 & thought oh no, they come in threes after Ace Frehley, and the Limp Bizkit bassist.

May have to wear a black armband tomorrow.

Rest in peace, Ace Frehley:

Well, with Calvin Austin III out for a while, Roman Wilson should have a chance to make a name for himself.

Is Beanie Bishop gonna get a chance to fill in with Ramsey out?

I know that we can't undo the sins of the past, but this is reprehensible.

Just like having statues of the genocidal Sheridan and Sherman in Wahington D. C.

Massacred for dancing...

Ironic to mention LBJ & truth...

The Texas sized POS lied the country into war.

He was told the truth about the dangers of Agent Orange and ignored it. That rat bastard is more to blame than anyone for the hundreds of thousands of U. S. soldiers dying from what that poison did to them.
Or just, you know, putting evidence out there. LBJ didn’t expose Nixon committing treason, Obama knuckled under to McConnell about Russia’s election shit, now this.

Ratfucking is usually associated with lying and dirty tricks. We could just use the god damned truth.
