The next time someone claims the news media is biased against conservatives, remember today when it was revealed that the government hid the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans and the national conversation was about if Google and the news media was biased against conservatives.

My friends know that I don't like the word "goodbye". Often when departing, I will instead say "be good".

This account was a lot of work at times, and a lot of fun at times. I will miss interacting with my followers and discussing current events.
