No posts here lately. Every time I check the news, it’s all about Michael Jackson. Still. Maybe today will finally be the end of it. I don’t get it. I really don’t. I guess that aligns me with NY Congressman Peter King, who has so infamously criticized all the coverage. No, I don’t condone the … Continue reading Can we move on now?

The copyright people have moved in, so it can’t be embedded here. Doesn’t change a thing. “Britain’s Got Talent” indeed. I started crying half way though it. Never, never, never, … Continue reading Sing, Susan, Sing!
