On the pages of the Butler Eagle: me vs. this lunatic.
Personally, I think I got the better of this exchange, but that might just be because that’s what the chip that George Soros implanted in my brain wants me to think. One thing I will say for Mr. Been: he’s definitely been paying attention when [...]
