It sucks, but some people try to make the best out of a shit sandwich. I understand if that seems like an untenable view for some with regards to this administration, but the alternative is often much worse. For the record, I support Bill N

My dad decided to drive home from Ouray to Farmington, NM one late April during a snowstorm. My mom didn’t talk to him for a week. We could barely see the front of the car as we tried to follow the snow plow most of the way. I was about 12

That's not what this is about at all. It's about making sure things that are out are reordered and moving, and punishing stores that have historically made things look "presentable" by hiding the fact they are out of t

It's a bit disingenuous to pretend (The) Facebook didn't do anything to connect people. Maybe it's because I graduated High School in 2003, but in early 2005 it was amazing to be able to connect to people you either went to h
