If Shyamalan can capture the humor as well as the drama from the series, this will be an excellent trilogy of movies. C’mon, July!

If I can get one, I’ll be using it to rip all the albums and 45’s I have, that have never been on CD!

I WANT!

Once again, the superiority of cats over dogs…

While cats embrace technology:

Dogs just bark at it:

So, the more things change, the more…?

So, I was reading the lastest about Our Dear President (mm mm mm), and I realized some disturbing things about him. He started to remind me more and more of a previous President.

Hmmm. “Enemies list”, check, “executive privilege abuse”, check, “wage and price controls”, check. So, what’s different today?
