Thursday Numbers

Say farewell to May 2012!  Summer and fun times are coming – let’s be safe out there!

If this is your first time visiting The Western Word (TWW), “Thursday Numbers” is my weekly column where I take a look at the numbers mentioned in the news (in descending order) and provide commentary (often laced with a little sarcasm).

Komen for the Cure Foundation” until someone discovered that some of the charity’s funds went to Planned Parenthood.  LifeWay pulled the Bibles.
