    35th Anniversary

    This morning to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision of Roe vs. Wade, I ate 2 bald eagle eggs over easy and a side of dolphin sausage. Uh, wait a minute. I think bald eagles and their eggs are protected by the federal government. Maybe they were chicken eggs. Is it...
