In fact, the only other time I heard about Nepal was in a horrible Eddie Murphy movie they always played on HBO when I was a kid . . .
However, here's a reminder that there's a great big world out there and it's home to more horrific tragedy and drama than minor league Royals baseball or that antics of local politicos who are not yet ready for prime time.
Accordingly . . .

ReplyDeleteCLEAVRCK, Save the Trolley Trail for being used for what it's there for, Curmudgeons for Right-wing Gobbledygook and Pay Me Daily all have proof, as reported by Northeast Noise.
Well, the act is coming along I guess. Good satire still needs a bit more clarity, and the overabundance of straw man targets means hitting none of them. Keep trying though, and try not to think of last August. :)
