A Tribute to The Legacy of Mitch Hedberg

This comment was left on the blog a couple days ago, on an old post that we had about the passing of Mitch Hedberg.
In the last few months I have spent a LOT of time in my car travelling back and forth to my folks house. My Mother was diagnosed in mid-November with Stage IV […]

While it’s easy to grow weary of the “Reagan, Reagan, Reagan…” mantra that has been repeated over and over and over again by the current crop of candidates, we should remember why Reagan is so revered.

i also think very highly of the golden state warriors.

One of my childhood heroes and favorite baseball player of all-time, Cal Ripken, was elected to the Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

Alejandro Rozitchner: Pensar para hacer
