Spain Channels Its Inner Nazi
Saturday, April 30th, 2011I posted about this a year ago, mostly because the tale was so outlandish that I figured we would never hear about it again. Well, I was wrong.

Saturday, April 30th, 2011All three suspects were convicted before being granted U.S. citizenship by the Obama administration. Absolutely unbelievable.

An 18-year-old man dressed up in a cow suit stole 26 gallons of milk around 10:35 p.m. from the Garrisonville Walmart. The man was [...]
Need Some Rapid-Fire Prayers, Please
Friday, April 29th, 2011By the time you read this, we’ll be on our way to the hospital. Kyle, my oldest son, has been battling what we thought was a pimple for almost two weeks now. After a few days, he started scratching in – it’s on his chin – and it started to get bigger and bigger. We [...]
Overnight Thread
Friday, April 29th, 2011Welcome to another sugar-free, unleaded edition of the overnight thread. Tonight’s topic is (once again) movie-related. Yes, I know this is the third time in three days, but the comments generated in the previous posts were numerous and thought-provoking. That being said, I have another Movie Mystery Question Of Life. It’s similar to a question [...]

When Philadelphia Police Detective Keith Gidelson [...]
