A headline in Russian media that makes me soo happy! Biden is preparing to throw out Russian diplomats and sanction Putin's criminal thugs in his inner circle. Better hurry because we are watching Putin slowly murder Navalny in public and surround Ukraine ria.ru/20210408/diplomaty-17…

I just saw an ad on TV for retirement investing that featured a song by The Cars -- the first band I ever saw in concert. Is the universe telling me that I'm getting old?

High schooler: America must abolish the tampon tax. Girls, women deserve it.
