lifestyle television and the new sermon

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.01.08

God the Internet is a beautiful thing. With an Internet feed and enough research to make one's theories sound plausible, you can say/do just about anything you want.
