Celebrating the loss of life, regardless of political affiliation, is unacceptable. We are in life's messy soup together. Let's lift each other up, not knock each other down.

As Gandhi famously said, "Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization."

Some of the most fantastic music ever composed. Spence wrote this and other amazing songs for the NFL and their weekly recap films in the '60s/'70s. SpongeBob used it as the theme for MermaidMan and BarnacleBoy. Enjoy.

TRUTH!!!! “In this our time, we still see too much discord, too many wounds caused by hatred, violence, prejudice, the fear of difference, and an economic paradigm that exploits the Earth’s resources and marginalizes the poorest." Pope Leo

It was an embarrassment. Physical and mental weakness top to bottom. No joy in Cleveland this morning. No joy in the hearts and souls of our Cavaliers. Gut check time.

We are stardust / we are golden / We are billion-year-old carbon / And we've got to get ourselves / Back to the garden.

Trump crowing about Canada as our 51st state is like Putin trying to take Ukraine. He's enamored with Mob Boss thuggery.

Trump shuts down speculation he’s ‘trolling’ about controversial proposal: ‘I’m really not’

Trump has rarely mentioned annexing Canada since Mark Carney took over as prime minister last month from Justin Trudeau, whom Trump mockingly called “governor.”

On this #420day, we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of performers “Gail & Dale” singing the hit, “One Toke Over the Line,” on Lawrence Welk.

Neither had an idea the song was about pot, and Welk thought the song was a “modern spiritual.”
