In a recent Op-Ed in The NY Times, James Carville railed on about how Kamala Harris supposedly lost the 2024 election due to “the economy”.

She has seen every version of Cabaret, including the first one, and said that she felt this revival was the best. I highly, highly recommend this show and also suggest that you splurge and buy the premium seats for the full Kit Kat Club experience this holiday season.
I love advent calendars as they get us ready for Christmas. Here are my favorite…
Dozens of studies show that a vegan diet is better for your health. While I still eat fish occasionally, I am vegan 98% of the time.
