That was the motto of Marshall Fields. The defunct department store lived by that creed. If something didn’t wear right for whatever reason or the person just didn’t like it.

Mojo got religion or gas. It could be either. Came up with a nice post knocking compulsive gambling. I added a comment there. I say that I’m not a gambler. That’s mostly true. But, it isn’t entirely honest. Read more…

That’s what the Supreme Court uses to define obscenity. Obscenity is one of the areas that constantly wars with freedom of speech detractors. The problem is one of defending something you think reprehensible. It makes drifting to the side of the book burners appealing. Read more…

You don’t mess around with Jim

Jim Croce had an interesting list of things not to do. Probably most guys have even agreed when an errant gust at least had the woods help conceal their error.
