The 25-year-old male in the loading dock has to pay the same premiums as the diabetic 60-year-old in accounting. Is this injustice an important part of the political discourse? How often do […]
I’ve written stories today about a Sasquatch hunt and the spontaneous combustion of King Tut. I’m thinking of kicking it old school and writing something about Hitler next.
