I’ve known a few rich folks, and frankly they’ve been on the whole fairly nice people. I didn’t ever want to work as hard as they did, though. Why bother? Because, if you’re rich enough, you can do stuff like … Continue reading
We live with a government that has no commonly agreed upon procedure for dealing with militant Islam, but can do six pages on how to make s’mores. I’m not linking to it, it’s embarrassing enough that I had to pay … Continue reading
