Roseanne says she was Ambien tweeting. As a morning radio host and longtime insomniac with a legit prescription, I can not tell you if that's true. But I can say it's possible. Yet it doesn't matter. Like it or not, we live in a new era of justice. Instant trial by...

Lately, Lisa and I have been going to the movies without reading reviews. She shocked me Friday night by bringing me to see Solo! A Star Wars prequel! I didn't even know that's what we were seeing. I just said "You pick any movie, I'm there." I've gone to hundreds of...
