Review: Welcome to the Stupidpocalypse – Survival Tips for the Dumbageddon

You’ve probably read a funny post or watched a viral video by Brittlestar, aka Stewart Reynolds.

Closing the Great Divide

Everyone talks about the many ways we are different. In a deliberately sweeping generalization, Liberals want everything to change and Conservatives want life to go back to the way it was.
