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,
- As one does.
- Officer safety!
- Like a trampoline.
- R.I.P. Yvonne Craig.
- To protect and serve.
- Libertarianism happens to people.
- Not. For. Any. Reason. Whatsoever.
- Crime: bad parking. Penalty: beaten half to death.
