It’s been just over a week since the United States of America finally, mercifully held its presidential election and with Donald Trump’s unexpected victory, Liberal America lost its fucking mind.

Mr. Brian Henneman

  When we last discussed Brian Henneman, it was during his stint as roadie, second guitarist, and piss-taker-outer for Uncle Tupelo*, just prior to him forming The Bottle Rockets.
