Mike Gold: Nancy’s Tale

The most important story of the new year is not being covered by the lame-stream media. You won’t find it on the more popular blogs. Neither Heidi MacDonald nor Rich Johnston has the scoop. We’re getting a new cat. You heard it here first. In my life, I’ve only had three cats, unless you count…

Because When We Think Turkey, We Think ‘William Shatner’
William Shatner loves deep-fried turkey, but over many Thanksgivings and Christmases he’s made mistakes, burned himself, and nearly burned down his house.
