RIP Hayden Panettiere

I was shocked to hear of the death of Hayden Panettiere over the weekend. Even more shocking was I had watched Scream 4 earlier that day.

Living in Oklahoma all these years, I’m never surprised by much of the political issues as the state seems to hoist itself up as a model of modern-day Christisn conservatives. But every now and again something does surprise me. In 2016, Bernie Sanders won the Democrat primary. In 2018, medical cannabis was approved with manyContinue reading “Get The Flock Outta Here!”
