The stiff, frozen carcass of a 93-year old World War II veteran was excavated from his home in Bay City, MI on January 17, transformed into an icy tomb by the Bay City Electric Light & Power which cut off his power earlier this month for arrearages in his electrical bill.

Fascist enabler Joe Scarborough exposed his deepest and most twisted sexual fantasies on MSNBC yesterday morning, apropos absolutely nothing, shouting out, “Hey, you know what I want to see: George Bush and Barbara Bush making out.”

No one can wait until Caligutard finally takes it out and sucks on Battleax Barbara’s tongue for hours on ESPN pay-per-view.
