'Conservative thinktank'.

Oh look, the rule applies again. Idiocy or fascism. Always, every single time that term is used.

We're so fucked.

We're sitting in the back of the German Wings climate change plane and the rich Andreas Lubitz assholes have decided to crash us into a mountain, because they are mentally ill.
