My dog ate through my wall. Seven months old. Cute as hell. I went to the diner for breakfast Saturday morning. An hour and a half later, I came home to a white-nosed black lab. The damage is pretty bad. I know he was just looking for attention. So I blame myself. I promised him [...]
Last week, I watched our president speak to reporters, answering their questions as he stood at the podium in the White House press briefing room.

Today’s thought is about the importance of common sense. I truly believe that 99% of the “news” out there is, at best, suspect, and at worst, crap. Here’s a great example: I came across an article today, entitled “Living on the wrong street could be making you fat.” And I thought, OK, that’s it! So, [...]
