Posted on November 11, 2016 by kitchenmudge

Do Dems want advice? Doubt it.

Posted on November 12, 2014 by kitchenmudge

In the commentary following the Dems’ expected mid-term drubbing, I’m getting echos of childhood and not-so-childhood. Let’s see if you can follow me here. We’ve all known that kid. Any number of activities could be used to illustrate, but I’ll … Continue reading →
