      @@waryaawariiri1812Son, I hope you never ever know how truly blessed you are. “Wine gladdens the hearts of men,” as the Psalmist says, but it has also destroyed the lives of millions upon millions upon millions, mine being one, along with every single person I ever try to love. Getting it back, by Grace, 12 years on now.

    I know James Taylor's song "Mona". It's from his 1985 album "That's Why I'm Here".

    I’ve worked with dogs and pigs, and agree that pigs are smarter, but get really big really fast. I also worked with elephants, and they are far more intelligent, but they come with serious tonnage.

    This is odd. My recollection from an interview quite some years ago, was that Taylor had gotten tired (to the point of being annoyed) of people asking him if Mona was a real pig or not. I guess he's come full circle on appreciating fans of Mona, now that fewer people may know his songs.

    For the record, pigs are smarter than dogs. Not that intelligence or stupidity should justify non-human animal/human abuse/slaughter, ever.

    Look how well this ex-junkie turned out! He's an interesting and kind man. Could others afflicted with addiction turn out so well? We should try to find out more often with helping hands. This sounds a little preachy I was going for sardonic. Sorry

    Not sure if it's true, but I heard when I was a kid that pigs had very long orgasms... that might explain them being pretty single-minded when 'that thing' is 'in season'.

    It's OK to get high, probably even healthy. Natural part of being human. As always though, moderation in all things.

    Here's the answer. God so loved the world He gave His son Jesus that whoever believes will have everlasting life. John 3:16 Please repent/believe, once your gone there's no do overs, there's no turning back.

    The juxtaposition of Mr Taylor with Ms Longoria (no dispersion on her) could not possibly be more bizarre, Mr Colbert. Seriously. Your judgement since those two disastrous PR puff pieces with Rachel Markle’s husband has become truly disturbing. Are you drunk? Serious question.

      Did you mean Meghan Markle? And his name is Harry Windsor, more commonly known as Prince Harry.
