East-west national routes are probably pretty straightforward (no pun intended).  You’ve got I-10 and I-20 to the south, and I-70 to the north; pick your poison and go.  It’s the north-south route that’s a mess here.

Poor Adam Sandler, being treated like an actual human being.

I mean... SOMEbody has to have access to all of Jeffrey Epstein’s receipts, right?

He’s also without emotion, cognitive thought, respiration, or any way to take those licensing dollars with him.

You know, it’s been ages since I had any thoughts at all about Clerks, but suddenly I’m right there listening to Randal order the next batch of movies.

I don’t think state legislatures qualify as “The Apollo”, but they definitely host dozens and dozens of Amateur Nights every year.

Bungnugget.

Honestly, I’ve only read 2 or 3 of the articles.  I see the others, and I guess I’ll just get around to reading them sometime.  It seems like there should be a word for this...
