They’re Still Raking In Tons Of D-Oh!

There’s honestly not a lot that’s the same about the world as it was in the winter of 1989.  Per MACROTRENDS,  gas was $1.o3 a gallon.  Today–if you’re lucky and obviously not in California–it’s $3.20.  A dozen eggs, even with all of the “winning” we’ve experienced in the last 13 months, are still $2.86–and yes,

There’s Really Only One Race You Should Be Worried About, Nero.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’re probably already aware of the latest clickbaitable meme that has practically everyone in at least my social media feeds up in arms–yeah, the one that puts THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT into perhaps the most unfortunate spotlight since THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW used it as fodder for a
