A Few Pacific Thoughts
A few pacific thoughts, starting with the FBI in New Orleans and its response to the horrible terrorist – yes it was – attack in New Year’s Eve.

In other words, you feel like you actually did something when in fact you did not. And that’s very convenient.

It is an absolutely true fact that if you buy snacks on sale they have no calories.
