Look. I don't make a habit of watching awards shows anyway, so I didn't watch the Oscars last night.

Well, we topped 50. I don’t know why this wasn’t reported this weekend, but a mass shooting occurred at a kid’s birthday party in Laplace, Louisiana, about 30 miles upriver from New Orleans. No one was killed, thankfully, but nine kids were shot - the oldest being 16 and the youngest 12 - with two … Continue reading Monday, April 19, 2021 →
