I never had anything against Reagan’s 35X.

That’s it for me for today. I’m about to fire up some CanCooker goulash for the kiddos. But let’s be honest, they’ll probably reject it and we’ll end up with one of the usual suspects instead. At least I’ll have a pre-made lunch for a few days.

See you tomorrow. Drop me a line at: swift@thebulwark.com if you have any questions, observations, or concerns.
