Kill Bill -- Two Bill's, Both Idiots

Robbed in Tijuana
I say my cellphone almost got me killed and my girlfriend says that it saved my life. It was four in the morning and I was headed from home to work. Home for me is a palatial wooden shack in …
Punching Women and Shooting Burglars
I hate to always take an event in the media and just blog about it. Partly because, we see it all being covered to death in other forms of media. Who cares about my rant about it, which is probably …
