If it's overweight, they have to pay extra. See if you can get some sheet lead from your hardware store. Heavy, but it fits in the envelope.

Read a profile of Ben in the New Yorker last night. If you ever find yourself tossing and turning and unable to sleep, highly recommended. The article was very neutral in tone, yet Carson comes off as far more interested in grift than than anything else, incredibly thin-skinned, and with the self-awareness of a baked potato.

OT, but Ethan Couch, the only-in-Texas vehicular killer of "affluenza" fame, and his mother, have been arrested in Mexico. In a wry twist, they've been handed over to Mexico’s National Institute of Migration for being illegal immigrants, and will be deported back to the United States. What with all the killers and criminals sneaking over the border, Mexico may indeed want to contribute to the construction of a yooge and classy wall.

"Just stuff . . . put it out there. When it’s refuted, they never come back and say, “Oh, I guess that actually did not happen.” They just go on to the next thing as long as they’ve figured out a way to hurt you."

Oh come on, Ben. You just now discovered that Faux News sucks?

I get 'em secondhand from my 91 year old mother, who every couple of months, hands me a pile of them. I leaf through and pick and choose what to read....why I opted for an article about Carson escapes me at the moment...an hour of my life I'll never get back.

Don't know either, but I think the doctor must have made his incision right on top. That skull ain't never going to heal properly.

I was rolling with laughter up until real actual people started getting hurt by the fanatics, and the pundits just shrugged it off as high energy.That is when it stopped getting funny
