Well, the second ad has been put up, the one I wrote about the other day. The one involving the cat; the one that was supposed to be ever so simple and wound up… being… not so. The part that’s kind of tough about people seeing it, is it’s supposed to look quick and cheap […]

The Obama administration has asked Congress to approve changing the materials that pennies and nickels are made from, recently. On one hand, you might say “Seriously?
