What February blahs? Who wants cake?

Ugh. We’re all feeling it. Too much winter, too much snow, too much cold. We’re hearing about the Mexican witchhunt on priests with AIDS, that creepy woman with the 14 children, the terrible American remake of “Absolutely Fabulous” coming down the pike and we fear that if Peter Hitchins doesn’t learn the true meaning of “tyranny” sometime soon, we’re gonna lose it like Christian Bale on the “Terminator” set:
