“The Floggings Will Continue Until Morale Improves”
Tuesday short takes
I’ll let others debate Trump’s desire for blanket Presidential immunity – have to ask, though, if the President is shielded from culpability, why does the Constitution include impeachment? Moving on – if convicted of a crime based on DNA evidence in Colorado, your lawyer should be smiling now. A Colorado Bureau of Investigation DNA analyst […]
VA Asst. UnderSec tries to ban “The Kiss”
Probably one of the most iconic photos of WWII, after the flag-raising on Mount Suribachi, is “The Kiss” – a young sailor dippin’ and kisssin’ an unidentified girl in Times Square.
