There was a time when ten cents meant something. That time was approximately a hundred years ago. But for a brief period, FDR enjoyed a resurgence of popularity as "the dime guy".

We're all overweight and we never listen to the radio anymore. Those probably aren't related, we just wanted to get today's two major complains out of the way in one sentence.

What makes a tragedy a tragedy? When it happens to people, apparently. Nobody bats an eye when 101 dalmatians get kidnapped for their skin, but try kidnapping 101 babies and suddenly it's a bridge too far.

Not sure what's happening here but I feel like our world is being a Twilight Zone episode. The psycho shooter that attempted to assassinate Trump apparently likes livestock in his home. Honestly who keeps a horse in the house. Alex can't even enjoy her morning walks due to the gauntlet of roadkill she has to dodge. Then there's P Diddy, yeah, he's screwed.
