Found: Fountain of Life

Submitted by on

I couldn't bring myself to go in. Reality would have crushed the dream. It always does.I imagine a soju fountain in the waiting room.

This is laregly a result of leaving the

In defense of the Somali pirates

Submitted by on

Submitted by on

I was happy to see Obama elected president --it was a great day when an American of color was finally seated at the highest level of power.
