The End Is Near!

By Daddy Brad Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Now I’m no conspiracy theorist but I am pretty certain aliens are living among us; the swine flu is a communist plot created by the KGB to end humanity; and Elvis, Jim Morrison & DB Cooper play golf every Tuesday morning at the Cactus Country Club out side of Tucson, Arizona.
