Today’s xkcd seemed fitting to post here.
Raise your hand if you don’t know someone like that. If you’re a Vermont reader, chances are slim that your hand is up.
A friend of my husband called his representative to share his opinion on a bill. The representative spent the entire conversation trying to convince him he was wrong! What are we electing these people for?

I found this commercial on YouTube for the 1982 Smurf game for ColecoVision.
According to the commercial, it was also available for the Atari 2600 and Intellivision, but we had it for the ColecoVision. I loved that game. Please note, I was in first grade at the time.

One week from today, we will have our elections. Who better than yours truly to bring you live, election-night interviews from the Vermont Republican Party in Montpelier? Well, I am sure there are better people out there, but you’re stuck with me!
I will be covering the Vermont GOP live on Channel 17, as [...]
PJ O’Rourke has cancer. As with everything else, he’s using it as an excuse to make us laugh. Although, I teared up a little when I read it.
I looked death in the face. All right, I didn’t. I glimpsed him in a crowd. I’ve been diagnosed with cancer, of a very treatable kind. [...]
In case you haven’t heard, tonight is the premiere of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s on FOX at 8:00.
