WW: Sonny on a bender?

Letterman got it right, but I’m glad to put it in the past

The Raging House has been plagued with sickness. For two weeks, The Funk has made its way from child to child, taking down Raging Mom and me along the way. The cruelest twist: Michael has come down with it. Again. Isn’t there a law of physics or health or relativity or something that says this [...]

I could not marry this chick

There are some things in this world that are just too important to ignore. For example, I couldn’t be married to a Republican.
