I Think I Will Watch The Superbowl This Year

I don’t care much for football unless my son is playing. I usually go to Superbowl parties to eat and chat. But this year I’m looking forward to a certain commercial that will run during the game. No, not the funny ones, although I like them too. Focus on the Family is running a controversial […]

I Had To Laugh …

Marion Berry, Democratic Representative from Arkansas, has decided to retire from Congress voluntarily instead of chancing an involuntary retirement via the ballot box.
