If you think you know the real story of the three little pigs you’re wrong. Here’s what REALLY happened: THE WOLF Think the wolf is just a pork-hungry goon out there […]

I’ve received a lot of requests to comment on the recent arrest of a man who walked into a Springfield MO Walmart carrying a rifle, wearing body armor, and packing over 100 rounds of ammunition (all that according to news reports, of course).
