I like holiday traditions. Well, I like traditions that aren’t a pain. Hauling out the Christmas tree is a giant pain, so I tend to put that one off. One of my favorite traditions is the fact that this time of year, the worst song ever written and made popular by young do-gooder celebrities is…Read the Rest

Sometimes, while surfing the interwebs, you come across something so profound that you just have sit back and catch your breath. In the case of this particular post, I had to catch my breath from laughing. And then I had to watch it again. So, with thanks to the inimitable Liv Rancourt, I am republishing…Read the Rest
