Yeah, GomerJr came home showing me some "trick" they taught them on how to use your fingers to multiply a single-digit number by another single-digit number. What the hell happened to just memorizing the multiplication table?

We're very fortunate that he, like me, is one of those people that just "gets" math. It just clicks in his head and just makes sense. God help us, though, when his sister gets to that age because I seriously doubt it will come as easy to her.

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft
