Story: My wife is an actress and did a taped audition for the roll of the boss in that commercial. I helped her film, and my job was feeding the lines, including β€œGO DAWGS!” and the barks.

Every time I watch I think my barks were better.

In some states, a push to end all property taxes for homeowners Anti-tax advocates are pushing to eliminate property taxes for homeowners. Rising property values have increased tax bills, but ending these taxes could cost states billions.

No property tax on homeowners in Georgia? It’s a little more complicated. #gapol

Honestly, I’m not sure if kneel-ins were very effective in changing many hearts.

I do think protesters in general would benefit from some James Lawson-inspired training.

Whether a good idea or not, protests in church are not unprecedented in American history. I would direct you to kneel-ins at segregated churches during the Civil Rights Movement.
