It’s the first time in my life I’m ashamed to be an American.
– General William Livsey
The reason this column looks a little different today is that I’m featuring a GIF instead of a standard video. Yesterday afternoon in the hospital (and if you don’t know why I’m in a hospital, you need to read Tuesday’s and Thursday’s columns) I asked readers for a weird video to feature today, and this one is just so wonderfully weird I had no choice. But this is as big as it is,
so I placed it to the side. And there’s your explanation. It was provided by Dollymopp, and the links below are from Franklin Harris, Angela Keaton, Mike Riggs, Saladin Ahmed, and Nun Ya (in that order); the last three are from Rick Horowitz.
