Don't believe the reviews. We gave Guy Fieri food poisoning on purpose.

And those making $40,000 a year still worship him!

Folks keep asking me who I’ll vote for in 2028. The answer is whichever democrat wins the primaries. Hope that clears it up.

If you're Buddhist and you know it, clap one hand.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

I’m as proud walking a 10K now as I was running the Baltimore Marathon 20 years ago Twenty years ago, I ran the marathon at the Baltimore Running Festival. This past weekend, my twin sister and I celebrated the anniversary by walking a shorter race.

Here's the @thebaltimorebanner.com column about my 10K with my sister and what it taught us about aging, fitness and what you learn when you allow yourself to change. Also about Baltimore, which rocks. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

An icon

R.I.P. ICON D’Angelo 🙏🏾🕊️

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

Gorgeous! Great view and perfect day.
