We were told that May was the hottest month ever. How can this be?
Hmmm. This comes in the wake of the declining GDP. Are we ready for another recession?
Glad I never started that drinking game. My liver wouldn’t be functional by now.
File Under: Bush Did It 
With Pravda, Trud, Red Star and Izvestiya reporting exclusively for us, it should be no problem convincing the masses what is the source of this dastardly deed against The People!
