Speaking of Mother’s Day, I hope you had a great one. I spoke to my mom last night on the phone. I think I was the one who got the gift. I think my wife had a good day, too.  If you didn’t read Keith Warren’s piece about his wonderful mom Ruthie, you should.

Take the C-L Poll: Should the North Carolina governor apologize?  My suggestion for her punishment? Mouth washed out with soap.

Ole Miss sweeps Tennessee. I will be quieter than normal today.

The Avengers made another $100 million-plus this weekend.  It now has made over a billion in a couple of weeks worldwide. Dear Hollywood, make a movie that’s well written, acted and fun and people will open their wallets.

Kiss your legislator. At least we’re not in the budget mess California is in right now. I think it just fell into the sea.
