Hey, it snowed a whole lot! What global warming?! Al Gore must be sad! Ha ha! How original. Also, not so much. Egads, I just agreed with something...

Certainly, not before 2009. Love this clip of Jon Stewart and Bill O'Reilly. Stewart presses O'Reilly on how, precisely, Obama is a socialist, and predictably O'Reilly comes up empty. Lastly,...

For starters, last night's snow was the usual heavy, wet kind we get around here, which put a strain on all our trees and bushes. Fortunately,...
