All well chez Coolidge
Thanks to the readers who wrote in wondering if everything’s okay in Coolidge Town. Yes, we’re all still alive here and no, we’re not shacked up with some hot fireman (though not a bad problem to have, eh?).
The day the media died
American Pie is just about the most perfect song ever written or sung. So, it’s with a bit of trepidation that I watched the following video — hate to see such next-to-godliness blasphemed. But honestly, I think maybe this little ditty does AP justice in some perfectly perverse 2009 way. And just for the record. […]
Sarasota firemen rescue MC and her cats!!!
