Happy National Grilling Day, aka Labor Day. This day no longer commemorates anything except the obsession of a large majority of Americans gathering together around the family grill. Enjoy your day and have a burger for me.
There’s no grill on the island, but I think I’ll have to import one next spring. I do miss [...]
There’s a very interesting video which seems to be going viral. It’s quite disconcerting. Is this what Obama is hiding? See what you think.
