Bill Maher Is Mostly Wrong, But He’s Also a Little Bit Right
I read an article over at ScreenRant describing an editorial by Bill Maher basically taking comic book fans to task. More specifically, taking adult comic book fans to task. This seems to be a complicated story. It appears to have started when Bill Maher wrote a blog post called “Adulting.” In it, he basically reacts…

This Season Of The Handmaid’s Tale Will Be My Last

My New Favorite Mexican Restaurant In Bloomington-Normal
My wife and I have been searching for a new Mexican restaurant ever since Carlos O’Kelly’s closed its doors. Yes, that was five years ago. We’ve tried a few local establishments over time, but nothing really won us over. In the interim, we’ve made due with Mexican dishes at Chile’s, Applebee’s–you know, those kinds of…
