Today, America is a messed up vision. A shadow of its former somewhat shadowy self. Because right and wrong is a concept blurred by propaganda. And good and bad are now in the “eye of the beholder.” So, those who … The rest of the story…
Over 1400 words. A guy wrote a parking spot rant, uh, article, that long, about how to park in one. So, it would appear he’s taken a fairly passionate stand on this grave issue our nation faces. Until that rant, … The rest of the story…
