Such a shame they had to break such a nice window. Today we are talking about The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket, which is a book about three kids who go to live with a woman they don't know in a house that would not pass inspection. Don't say you will be a guardian for three orphans if you are willing to give them over to a murderer just so you can go and hide in a cave the rest of your life.

Every Kennedy has Lyme disease and nobody knows why! Today we are talking about RFK Jr's second confrimation hearing where he continously asks to be shown the studies, says he would totally tell people to take vaccines, claims black and white people should have different vaccines, and isn't sure what side to take on 9/11. He also keeps mentioning his uncle (the former president) and how he was in 4H as a child. It's all awful and probably the future of America.
