Merry Christmas blues! My extraordinary family got me tickets to the Villa match! I did not think I was going to be able to get to the grand old lady, but I am! I was speechless and almost cried! If you have any suggestions for my 5 days in Liverpool… #Everton #COYB #UTFT

The grinch is no longer a mean one. The time of death appears to be 9:30 AM. his face was chewed on and his leg bent very unnaturally. He was discarded and left for dead. The prime suspects are believed to be Blue and Rosie. They were seen lounging near the crime scene acting a little too cool.

“We don't expect anything other than the truth to be told." A modern Cherokee. Jackson was at worst a self dealing traitor and at best a xenophobic racist. We are as a nation who we have always been. It’s not that history repeats it’s that we are living a continuation of that history. 4.5/5 stars.

Reading “Jacksonland” by Steve Inskeep, about Andrew Jackson’s land grab and this quote in a document written to Congress says so much.
“Cherokees are so tenacious, they would not surrender one acre without receiving what would be the value of the land”.
How dare they…
