So, 3) if a lunch lady who works in the Exxon cafeteria gives him $50, that counts as a donation from the oil industry. Again, you don't like Beto? Cool with me. The only thing I'm sure of, voting-wise is not-Trump. I'm just sick to death of noise undistinguished from signal. <br /><br />Finally, I like to think that the somewhat deformed guy was just, you know, an un-injured Steve Buscemi-type and the tweeter just thought he'd face-planted at some point.janinedmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-71963062924813596652019-03-01T08:35:18.795-05:002019-03-01T08:35:18.795-05:00Oh,yeah.

Tan Tenovo inches a little closer to his inevitable appointment to the position of US Secretary of Transportation. <br /><br />I recently watched "A Bronx Tale" for about the second time in the 20+ years since it was released. The film includes a couple of scenes where urban bike cycling is woven into the story. However, it is time for a remake; the contemporary version will revolve around Tan, his progeny, and an appropriate antagonist... like the woman who points to her head at mouths the word "helmet".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-36178561054476339852019-02-28T12:46:42.524-05:002019-02-28T12:46:42.524-05:00We can dream.
