The joy of owning a cat

There are many joys in owning an animal, but there are far many more joys in watching that animal find itself in embarrassing and confusing situations and then watch it try to free itself. I think it's safe to say that I have learned more from Stiggy than he has ever learned from me, and although all that really means is that Stiggy is one incredibly stupid animal, it also means that I have learned from that stupidity and am now a better person because of it.

Time to create a new image

My fellow conservatives and brave Republicans, there have been some tragic election losses in the past few years, in Congress mainly because of corruption and scandals, and in the presidential election for many reasons. But fear not! Now is a unique time in history when we have the opportunity to recreate our tarnished image.

Bye-ola

With a worsening economy, soon-to-be graduates are feeling threatened by their job market ventures.
