It’s Girl Scout Cookie season again.
As I purchased our “thin mints” and “samosas” and “tagalongs,”* the thought occurred to me that this would be a good time for these girls to not only make money, but also to learn something about the country they’re growing up in.
Now, if only I could draw!

Scary is too tame a word. I started my State of the Union column last night and then decided to hold off for a bit so I could be more measured and less incensed. Combine his lies, a 49% approval record and the Democrats Iowa debacle and all I can say is “Welcome to the United States of Dystopia.” Hm, maybe I’ll use that.
Thanks, always, for the feedback.
