Get Your Dunkin' Monday

 We had a fantastic birthday weekend. We laughed, ate dim sum, and saw the Minecraft movie. One thing is for sure: if you ever want to write a screenplay, go ahead and do it. The Minecraft movie is proof that anyone can make a movie. Never doubt yourself

Here are your highlights:

Forget babies named after TV show characters. People today are naming kids after trees. 

DHS is threatening to jail more Democrats. It's here. 

Cutting Medicaid is cruel and also wildly unpopular. So, of course, Republicans want to move forward with it. Hurting the poor to benefit the rich. BUT BUDGETS. DEFICITS. FISCAL CONSERVATISM. 

Worms in meat.

Mock, Paper, Scissors had me laughing out loud. Pope poses as the President.

The end result was a compromise under which gay service members would conceal their sexual orientation. Now, after President Barack Obama pledged during his campaign and first year in office to repeal the law, Skelton finds himself on the opposite side once again. "I am personally not for changing the law," he said during a C-SPAN "Newsmakers" interview that will air Sunday.
