So hey, MLB released the 2017 schedule yesterday. Maybe that’ll be a nice break from thinking about 2016, specifically September, a month that has seen the Blue Jays go from leading the American League East to third place in it in the span of 15 days. That’s bad, in case you were wondering. Not so …

Our Prices Are Insane, And So Are We
I had heard over the weekend that this existed, but until now I hadn’t seen it. But even now that I have seen it, I still can’t believe that I’ve seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZmM-2gj5Gc In the television spot, a Miracle Mattress employee, identified by the Dallas Morning News as manager Cherise Bonanno, along with two male employees, …
Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes, Black Kids
I meant to put this up a long time ago. I saw this on Facebook, and I thought it was very powerful. It’s amazing how quickly Jane Elliott manages to break down the blue-eyed people. This was just a couple of hours of these kids’ lives. Imagine what people must feel like when they deal …

It reminds me of this Corner Gas episode, …

I’ll freely admit I’m a chicken. I’ve wanted to post this song on my Facebook, but I’m afraid I’ll single-handedly insult everyone who calls themselves my friend. I shouldn’t be…but I am. So here, let me post this from the safety of the blog, even though probably a bunch of Facebook types read here, so …
Fifteen Years On
Before we get to Gill, a couple of things: 1. I used to think it was kind of lame that my birthday is right before Christmas, but I can’t imagine it being on 9/11. That sure would suck now. 2. All the best to everyone today. Even after all this time, for some folks it …
I Want You To Want Me
And now, today’s reminder that taunting the cops online almost never does your freedom prospects any good.
