Sunday Link-Off: Faux News

isla-fisher-nocturnalanimals16-02So the election is over and life is somewhat moving on as people attempt to mount some sort of resistance to the President-elect. It sounds very Star Wars.

Or you could read this line-by-line breakdown of Mariotti’s stupidity by the one and only Weed Against Speed. (Sportress of Blogitude)
