I am a registered Democrat (at heart an independent, but I had to choose one of the two to have any voice at all in American politics, and I usually detest Republican policies anyway), but I love Arnold. He is a free-thinking, brain-using, common sense, ecologically concerned [...]

And speaking of Vaseline…

Yesterday’s post was about Vaseline.
So is today’s post:
A man doing market research knocked on a door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet.
He says, ‘I’m doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?’
She says, ‘Yes. My husband and I use [...]
