Oh my, I feel another government bailout coming on, don’t you? I’m talking about a cruise line — let’s say they are called something like Cornyval Cruise Lines (not their real name) that’s had a rash of problems lately, what with their generators failing out at sea, hmmm, which makes the plumbing fail out at [...]

I had a friend tell me the other day they didn’t think I believed much in the Federal Government. Ha! Now that’s a good one.
