Charlie Sheen, Freedom Fighter? He’s doing it wrong.
You may agree with Sheen’s views on rehab, the government, 9/11, or therapy. You know what they say: even a broken Charlie Sheen is right two times a day.

For now, I’m just going to sit back, pour myself a shot, and congratulate myself on a job well done. Well, until all the MRAs come out of the woodwork, that is.
