George W. Bush got spiked on Game of Thrones
I have really enjoyed watching the HBO series Game of Thrones since its 2011 debut. No, I never read the books on which the series is based, but the program itself has captured my attention and my interest each week. I even found a good laugh last week when fellow blogger Dave the Upstate Man…

I gotta share this story with you. And I hope my daughter Cassaundra takes it in the spirit of good humor and jest.
