Merc With A Mouth
Readers of my regular ruminations on Hessians perhaps think me ill disposed to those who foster and profit from Wars as professional murderers. Mea culpa.

Bond. James Bond.
Yeah, the show was a waste of Idris but it had moments. The Beautiful Game There Are No Little Performances My Secret? I’m Always Angry, There’s Nothing Creepy About The Internet. Nothing At All. Ok.
