A Piano and a Goat Walk Into a Bar Say it ain’t so, Joe! The Chicago Cubs are finally back in the World Series. Well, that didn’t take long now, did it? Only 71 pain-staking, gut-wrenching years of devoted fandom. But hey, what’s a few decades when we’re talking about one of the most beloved […]
Well, that got ugly quick, didn’t it? A couple of weeks ago, we all thought this was going to be a real election. We saw the poll numbers and believed that this one might actually go down to the wire. Many of us were hyperventilating into brown paper bags to relieve ourselves of the fear […]
