Our baby cherry tree has produced five cherries this year. OH MY GOD! - they are the best cherries EVER! My wife, daughter and I had one each. SO GOOD. Should I save the other two for my son and his girlfriend (who don't yet know of the cherries)? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o6l...

Feels like quite a few people have been waiting their whole lives for the moment when being openly racist in print is no longer career ending and are determined to make the most of it.
