Silver Bells and Cockleshells

Posted on 03/13/2014 by leftwingsurvivalist

Hurting my Head – Make It Stop

Posted on 01/23/2014 by leftwingsurvivalist

So, there’s apparently been a nationwide outbreak of crazy recently.  That’s the only thing I can come up with to explain it. First, there were some folks convinced that alien spacecraft had landed on the moon, and were visible.  A … Continue reading →

Beliefs, and Overreach

Posted on 05/09/2013 by leftwingsurvivalist
