Miscellany Barrett, Prison Rape Bonanza, Lions I gotta admit: I'm proud to be an alumnus of Notre Dame Law School. I was in my third year of law school when Mrs. Barrett was a freshman in the undergrad so our paths would've never crossed, but I'
BYCU Bachelor Party Drinking weekend. Alpena, on the shores of Lake Huron, eldest son Alex's bachelor party. I stocked the car last night with cornhole, frisbees, Can Jam, Spike Ball, dice, cards, and beer. Now I just need to make room for two passengers and our underwear. I'
News App I've been looking to replace Drudge with something, so I'm auditioning a few news apps. The first one featured a story yesterday, to the effect that Jimmy Kimmel had a great insight earlier this week: Trump must be concerned he's going to lose in

Miscellany Rogan and Drudge So, Rogan left California and moved to Texas. I'm guessing Texas' income tax rate (zero) looks pretty good next to California's (12.3%). If he's bringing in $10,000,000 per year, that's $1,230,000 a year
