They are the ultimate odd couple and what a photo op - this short fat man with the goofy hairdo and this tall aging pudgy man with the bizarre hairdo walking towards each other to shake hands in a most historic manner.

Only it was on the world stage in Singapore, and it really means nothing because in a month or so, our president will fly off the handle and insult Mr. Kim, who will then insult the dotard - a wonderful word that Little Rocket Man use...
It is true that God meets the Kneed? Does he really pay attention when we pray? Even when we’re not on our knees? I am persuaded that body language expresses the heart, but God understands that some people’s physical situation prevents them from getting down on their knees to pray.

With the weather looking like it didn't know what to do, the Greenbush Race Park beat the odds and was able to get their program in. The Street feature would have Jeremy Gust of Strathcona, sitting on the pole and would lead the first lap, but coming out of corner two on lap two he would surrender the lead to John Halvorson of Warren. One lap later Gust would spin in two and was unable to continue. On the restart Halvorson would have to contend with rookie Jerome Berger of Badger, and veteren Ryan Johnson of Karlstad, with Johnson taking the...
