The Coming Revolution
The coming revolution doesn’t officially start until you see televisions burning in the streets. Great heaps of televisions, cellphones and all manner of other electronic communications or spying devices burning in the streets. It is a crime, and, if it … Continue reading

Realistically, my chances of being elected are next to nil. I know this because I am well aware of how much … Continue reading
The Family Hour
My parents had nine children. We never had a couch long enough to comfortably enjoy The Family Hour.
