    1. Turn off your morning alarm clock and take afternoon siestas in a Mayan hammock. 2. Drink any and all liquids you can get your hands on. 3. Absolutely never watch the news on TV, it harms the cerebral cortex. 4. Don't put white substances up your nose, especially when watching news on TV. 5. Listen to a lot of Reggae music. Ganja and tie-dye T-shirts are optional. 6. Take up western swing dancing. It gets easier after a couple of pitchers of beer. 7. Go barefoot outdoors when possible.

When Erin Mendenhall was sworn in as SLC mayor all hell broke loose: a pandemic, an earthquake, riots, a hurricane. Maybe the stars were aligned in a pretzel. We went to Madame Cassiopeia to read Erin's star chart for answers. Read more at SMART BOMB. https://t.co/GLbrBq2PuT

SMART BOMB: Dems hate that we'll replace liberal icon RBG with a woman who loathes birth control and the ACA. It's better than when we replaced civil-rights hero Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas, who scoffs at affirmative action. Read more at https://t.co/GLbrBq2PuT
