It’s Not Easy Being Green…or Black…or Native American…. I absolutely love The Muppets. Maybe I just have a thing for banjo-playing frogs, but one of my favorite childhood memories was ending weekends by gathering round the television on Sunday evenings and watching the latest episode of The Muppet Show. It ran for just 5 seasons […]
This will probably come as a shock to absolutely no-one, but I was never really a fan of Rush Limbaugh.
