Michael Savage Barred from the U.K.

I spent some time trying to come up with a pithy headline, but it’s not even worth it. Batshit crazy wingnut Michael Savage (born Michael Weiner on March 31, 1942) was one of 16 people who have been barred, as of today, from traveling to the United Kingdom.

Holy FUCK, it’s going to be a good day!
