My friend Dave made a suggestion to me that made a lot of sense. After reading a recent political blog of mine, that appeared to be ghost written by Sylvia Plath, he said: “I look forward to a post about Twinkies or Belly Buttons.” Which said to me: “Dylan, your sense of humor has been [...]
So I was watching CNN this morning, and they did a segment on Faith Healing because, as you know, CNN is the world-wide leader in news. In short, this gospel singer from Buffalo, New York (who looks strangely like Hoda Kotb from the Today Show) had been in a wheelchair for 25 years, until, one [...]
