Most of this crap doesn’t bother me, because I don’t really “use” Facebook much.

If You Strike Down Bill Maher
…he will become more powerful than you imagine.
I’m not a Bill Maher fan, but at least, unlike much of the left, he’s willing to be an equal-opportunity religion basher.
Longevity
Thoughts, from Trifecta.
But Bill Whittle gets it wrong. It’s NOT “Slow traffic keep right.” It’s “LEFT LANE FOR PASSING ONLY.”

Of course, we now know that the sugar is pretty bad for us, health wise.
