Did you hear about the one with Hillary and Donald?

By quinersdiner | August 16, 2016

By Tom Quiner This came to me via email today. I don’t now who wrote it, but it’s worth the quick read: Donald and Hillary went into a bakery on the campaign trail.

Suicide Squad

By quinersdiner | August 12, 2016

By Tom Quiner   I went to a movie Tuesday night with a buddy. We saw “Jason Bourne,” a good action flick we knew our wives wouldn’t relate to. He told me he was going to go see “Suicide Squad” next week with his son. I told him I had just read the single, worst movie review ever (in the Wall Street Journal), and Suicide Squad had the honors. A few…
