Serves me right

I go talk about my job and what happens? I lose the route. Now that Ted is back in the office at least, he wants to case his route and just have someone else carry it. I knew this was coming, but I thought not for a couple more months.
Well then… that [...]

Bush the art critic

Been sitting on this one a few weeks debating on whether or not to post it thinking it was probably already seen everywhere else, but the story just keeps getting better and more played on, including nabbing the opening segment of Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me last Saturday. It's about the painting that Bush [...]
