[NOTE FROM JIMMY: I want to say a very special thank you to Jeff Miller. I haven’t been able to post The Weekly Benedict as often as planned (which is to say, weekly), but Jeff has graciously volunteered to handle its composition and posting. Thanks, bro! BTW, be sure to check out Jeff’s awesome ebook version of The Weekly Benedict, linked below. And now, the Mr. Jeff Miller . . . ]
