For what it's worth, I read yesterday that the tiger was fine.

I’m just one guy, but I’m a lifelong baseball fan, and if MLB causes a baseball park to be built in a national park, they’ll never get another dime of my money.

I'd say he's a national treasure, but he's our treasure too.

Without the 8-track, I can make a pretty long list. Graceland. Four-Way Street. Dark Side of the Moon. Hotel California. A bunch more.

Had a thought this afternoon: I've bought copies of Band on the Run on vinyl, cassette, 8-track, and CD. Anyone else have an album like that?

All this time I thought Susan Collins was just incredibly stupid, but I was wrong--it turns out that she's a crook, too.

We’ve got our Pandora set to Led Zeppelin today. I pointed out to Mrs. Arch that almost every song is a half century old.

For the last three weeks, the high temperature in my town has been 94 degrees or above. The lowest low temperature was 74. At night. In September. But, yeah, we have other stuff to worry about.

Supposed to go tomorrow to try to recruit high school juniors to come to my university, and I somehow have to do it without disclosing my doubt that society is going to exist long enough for them to finish a degree. Wish me luck!

Google says, "Tua Tagovailoa, the Miami Dolphins quarterback, is well-known for wearing two crosses in his eye black on game days." Of course, it's Google, so there's no way of knowing if it's true or not.

What’s going on at #NPR? Do you think we won’t listen to a news story if you don’t give it jokey framing as a game show, or do you think your listeners are just too dumb to understand it otherwise? Maybe just tell me the news?

People don't really understand how evolution works. There's no instinct, no evolutionary imperative, for survival of the species. There's only pressure for survival of genes. So, we're doomed. Greed for power, money, and sex trumps (word chosen advisedly) good sense every time.

Trump is not sending anyone five thousand dollars. If this cynical fake bribe works, it will prove that America is too stupid to survive.

I'm glad to help you out with this problem. If you'll go to wherever that is, pick up that "trash" and send it to me, I'll cover your expenses and then some. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, if they don't kill you by flipping your car, they'll yank you through the window by your hair, then beat the shit out of you. Or maybe they'll just get high and wander off the road: arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

If we’re going to change the names of lakes, let’s change the Great Salt Lake to “Lake Trump.” It’s not going to be around much longer, but will leave a fetid toxic mess that takes decades to clean up.

Remember when Trump decided that we were all going to start calling the Gulf of Mexico “Gulf of America?” How’d that go? It must be sad to be President of the United States and have nobody pay attention to your bloviation.

Canada is the nicest country in the world. They’re like the good brother looking out for the developmentally challenged brother. Any who hates Canada is a soulless chud.

We were in Nashville a couple of weeks ago, and the Country Music Hall of Fame had a really nice exhibit on Dolly's career. It only made us love her more, and it's hard to believe that we could. Dolly was everything a human should be--kind, smart, generous, funny, and could sing a bit.

1. You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is “never try.” 2. The rat symbolizes obviousness. 3. You don’t make friends with salad. 4. I call the big one Bitey. 5. Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others.
