the off-broadway musical adaptation of Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth" is titled "The Seat of Our Pants" lol

I hope there is still a dinosaur and several apocalypses

My office requested that the Office of Civil Rights assess CB 121052 and 121053, and we wanted to share this report with the public.

people who insist new gun laws won't stop mass shootings sure do spend a lot of time on laws to stop abortion
