Friday Morning
I just read this on — well, it doesn't matter what website… A Rasmussen poll released Friday found that a large number of Americans surveyed are still undecided on whether George Zimmerman should be found guilty of murder in the killing of unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The survey said 46 percent those surveyed were […]
Go Listen! Quickly!
Throughout the Magic Kingdom some of us call Earth, my friend Jim Korkis is one of the foremost authorities on Walt Disney. So when he recommends a BBC radio documentary on The Man…well, that's something I want to hear. Here's the link and here's the catch: It's only online for two more days. Hurry. And […]
