Song of the Day (2/23/2020)

But before I begin. Elizabeth Warren and Super PACs. Have you seen this have you heard about this? All this finger pointing at our clementine in chief for being a hypocrite, flip flopping, not standing to a principled code. And now this! I love it. She took that pledge to disavow Super PACs and now... Continue Reading →

Book Review: The Devil in the White City

If you have an interest in architecture, U.S. history, celebrity criminals, or Chicago, read this book.  I couldn't put it down.  I've heard people complain about the immense level of general detail and boredom around overly-descriptive architectural details but I found neither in the book.  The discussion of architecture was relatively light and those complaints were...

House of the Day (2/11/2020)

Today's house of the day is a little different from the usual grandiose estates shared on MaM.  Located in Hastings, Michigan (between Grand Rapids and Lansing), this beautiful, rustic cabin was built in 2004, has 3 beds and 2 baths across 1,700 square feet, and sits on a gorgeous 60 acres.  Unfortunately, there's no lake...

Are YOU Represented on Elizabeth’s “Warren for President” Website?

Take a look!  Some of you may be.  But I'd venture to guess that many of musing and malarkey's readers are not.  Taken directly from the "Warren for President" website: Sort of shocking?  Sort of insulting?  Sort of pandering?  Sort of an exclusionary message? Fun fact: Elizabeth Warren was a dyed in the wool republican... Continue Reading →

Song of the Day (1/4/2019)

Hey all! I know this is a current jam and perhaps a little fruity for some but I dig it. Today's song of the day is Memories by Maroon 5. How much do you know about brussels sprouts? Well did you know they grow on a stalk? Yeah! Check it out: Nuts. And not because... Continue Reading →

I Call this Dance the Reagan Sweep

For those of you who voted in the 1984 presidential election, when you get to the pearly gates, I highly encourage you to tell lead bouncer and all-around-good-guy Saint Peter that you lived somewhere other than Minnesota or D.C. From Wikipedia, "Reagan ran for reelection as President in 1984, running against Democrat Walter Mondale. Reagan... Continue Reading →
