As anyone on the editorial board of this intrepid publication can tell you, and as any one of our three readers would gladly tell you, ours is something of a “dirty” or “blue” publication, not due to bewbs and booty, but due to the, uh, colorful language we employ. As such, we’re not everyone’s cup of tea.

There are those who would tell you that using foul language in your writing means you couldn’t come up with anything better, that you’re not smart enough to make a case without resorting to shocking language which offends more than it informs.

For examples, see Rome and Britain. The zenith of Real American dominance over the world was relatively short, commencing when it was basically the only large country left standing after the Second World War and jumping the shark sometime between Viet Nam and the 2003 Iraq invasion, depending on one’s perspective.
