Usually the moral of the story is that making a deal with the devil always ends up with you landing in hell. Except for the odd wily hero who outsmarts the devil somehow.

I expect Tom Cotton will be penning an op-ed calling for sending in the troops to shoot everyone currently storming the capitol building right now, no quarter.

No no, you see, that guy in the picture is dressed up in … buffalo horns? I think? Pulling off his best “Pastor Dick Root fucked Jim Bowie” impression because he’s anxious about the economy and jobs.

It’s really weird to consider that it’s the Machine in this instance that needs to be protected from the Rage.

It looks like a Boxster with a body kit and some speed holes cut in the 1/4 panel and … hold up is that a gated shifter?
