Dear Jack,

Mr. Nicklaus, I know u don't care about the cruelty, the rapes, the corruption, the incompetence blah, blah, blah but dude the man cheats at golf!

Miller Time

Every morning Steven Miller
Looks into the mirror and hates
The world all over again

Then takes it out on the rest of us

Anyone else noticing that stupid Tik Tok challenges are getting people killed?

Silver Medal

Stalin, rolling in his grave.
Mao murdered even more.

The one with young Ivanka
On his lap. Whenever he has sex,
He closes his eyes and remembers.
Those were the happiest days of his life.

The murderer who got away with it: Vladimir Kramnik.

"The imperial piano, its 89th, 90th, 91st strings unsummoned, unwoken."

You're not allowed to talk about it.
You're not allowed to even think it.
Not when the two thousand pound bombs are yours.

Let's see. Roughly 1500 Israeli deaths. Roughly 50000 Palesinian deaths. What's one Isreali death worth? 30 Palestinians? 50? 100? And yes each one matters. Still disproportionate no?

"Hotel California" is the greatest rock song of all time.
