  Listen to this one as you watch this one.

  "I, painting from myself and to myself,

  Know what I do, am unmoved by men's blame

  Or their praise either. Somebody remarks

  Morello's outline there is wrongly traced,

  His hue mistaken; what of that ? or else,

  Rightly traced and well ordered; what of that ?

  Hey, it's the Holiday Season!

  Time to be thankful for what we have and the opportunities we have to lead our own lives, without government interference. Be thankful for this while ye may.

  This horrible video was produced by Minnesotans. Minnesotans are defined as those unwilling to finish the trip to North [...]

• Climate-quiddick

  I remember watching a television show back in the 196o's called "You Asked For It". Television as a broad medium was still fairly new. Historians may say that television was introduced in the 1930's, but to be real, anybody who could afford a television set in the '50's was pretty [...]
