Good morning from Singapore! Actually, it’s just after 9 p.m. here … and man … am I having a ball! No, I’m not talking about nighttime follies. I’m not even talking about the wonderful spicy crab I just …
I’ve seen a lot of pro-America slogans come and go: “Buy American” … “Keep America Rolling” … “Look for the ‘Made in USA’ label.” They’ve all attempted to tap into our patriotic spirit, encouraging us …
