EarlG flying solo. DU is in the very best of hands. Nothing to worry about.
The thing about Lord Marblehead EarlG is that he's more arrogant, more stuck up, than Skins is, or was. That old eurocentric looking-down-upon-America thing (as if every square inch of that continent hasn't already been drenched in blood over the centuries).
And so if a primitive gets whiny, Lord Marblehead is more likely than Skins was, to tell the primitive to **** off.
