I’m not the first to say it, but it’s interesting that the current Department of Justice not only couldn’t indict a ham sandwich, it couldn’t convict one either.
In DC, Free Speech now includes an onion on a radio antenna.

At Summerfest in Milwaukee last night my daughter and I saw Hozier perform. Even from row WW, we loved his concert. Then for the encore, he popped up 20 feet from us! My daughter couldn’t believe. Hozier knows how to touch your heart.

Don’t worry: You aren’t yelling at clouds. (I can’t do anything about your age, alas.) Digital menus let the restaurant change prices on a whim, and push yesterday’s leftovers until they’re gone. They serve the owners, not the diners.
