By Mickey Friedman July 30, 2018 Like many of you I have watched our world turned upside down. Unlike most of you I had a father who for a host of reasons, sensible and delusional, allowed himself to believe the…
Screw The Meek and Mild
By Mickey Friedman July 4, 2018 Clearly, the President is suspicious about what they’re doing up there. Something’s a bit off. How else do they have the best hockey players? Not to mention that quirky national anthem our NBA players…
