This is a public record now; it’s as historic as the 1918 epidemic and you followed it. Thanks.

Aside from a few stubborn oaks, all the leaves are down around here.

My cousin fell for the MA lies and kvetched for a year til she could get back to Medicare. Not that Medicare is perfect, but it’s a damn sight better than the MAs. The Republicans have been pulling these scams to […]

Always comes on time.

But why do you push me to?
I thought you loved me.
