Wrong again, Sylvia

Posted on January 15, 2007 by Shane

Skeptico sums it quite nicely here: http://skeptico.blogs.com/skeptico/2007/01/hornbeck_browne.html It hurts my brain to think that people can still take her seriously. She’s a piece of garbage. Bleh…I’m too angry to type any more. Do the world a favor, Sylvia, just go … Continue reading →
