Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante
Today's episode has it all, assuming "all" is tons of gay sex and Franklin Roosevelt and the Navy. Do I have your attention? I know Disillusioned Dilettante is listening closely because of one of those specifics (spoiler - he's a big FDR fan!). In 1919, a senior member of the US Navy was hanging out... Continue Reading →
Hey have you heard there's a new "Avengers" movie? It was pretty easy to miss, since it's only been E V E R Y W H E R E for the past two months leading to it's record-breaking opening weekend.

I usually try to work in something topical or relevant to engage our TENS of readers, but not this week. DESTROYING ANGEL OF MORMONDOM. Look at the... Continue Reading →
