When Joey and I Were in Middle School


Op-Ed

Before hearing last weekend that Joey Lutz had drowned in Panama, I had not seen or talked to him in over 8 years.

However, there are some people who are so electric, that specific things that they do and say stay with you for years, regardless of the level of continuing contact.

McCain and the Dreaded ‘S’ Word

It’s a mental recession, see? Get it? You’re mind is receding. So stop whining and go spend the money you don’t have on things that are too expensive – like food or gas.

He thinks the U.S. is already too much of a whining nation. http://www.washtimes.com/news
