It was -13 degrees outside this morning where I live. A good day to stay in bed snuggled with your toys.

Milli Vanilli have announced that they've decided to give their 1990 Grammy award for "Best New Artist" to Donald Trump.

A spokesperson for the duo said that, "Trump deserves the award every bit as much as we did".

ICE has been recruiting at gun shows. This is typical of items sold by vendors at gun shows. The murder of Renee Nicole Good was, sadly, totally predictable.

If that fails, there's always the traditional French way of dealing with aristocrats.

I didn't get a Red Ryder BB Gun with a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time--but it was a cool Christmas nonetheless.

Now playing. Listening to this album was part of our family's Christmas for as long as I can remember. I always think of my mother and grandmother when I listen to it. 🎅🎄

One of the greatest concerts I ever attended was 50 years ago today (Dec. 6, 1975). Peter Frampton and Rory Gallagher. If you want to know how good the show was, listen to "Irish Tour '74" and "Frampton Comes Alive" back-to-back
