I had no interest in “The Wedding!” today but my wife DVR’d it and I ended up watching. I enjoyed thinking about the politics of the wedding and couldn’t help thinking of my favorite “crystal-clutching-hobbit-dork” series A Song of Ice and Fire.

Yes, I’ve had posting privileges here for years but have not had the time or reason to create posts. But hey, here’s something for Donald Trump and the Bellowing Birthers, fresh and hot from the White House: Obama’s Original Long Form Birth Registration Enjoy. Tweet

Townes Van Zandt was an incredible songwriter and a great storyteller. I first heard this song on a live album where he’s playing in Germany.
