MoreI’m dedicating this post to a dear friend of mine whose father died recently. He needed some sunshine and love today. Behold the power of the Unicorn!

MoreNewsflash: Liberal Feminist Shoots Guns! In some respects, going to a shooting range was exactly what I thought it would be. Dodge Ram trucks and Ford pick-ups in masculine colors lining the parking lot in which there were few open spots. Demonstrably male, palpably macho, undeniably white.
