Michael Flynn Offers To Testify in Exchange For Immunity During Family Game Of Clue

Midway through a game of Clue with his family this past Easter Sunday, Michael Flynn reportedly offered to testify in exchange for immunity, assuring his family that he hadn’t killed Mr. Body and just because he was asking for immunity didn’t mean he was guilty of anything.

“My lawyer, Robert Kelner, who has become as much a part of the family as Matt or Michael Jr. these past few weeks, recommended that this was the best course of action for somebody in my position,” said Flynn, reiterating that it really wasn't him and everybody needed to stop thinking it was.

Flynn went on to remind his family that if it turned out his character, Colonel Mustard, was guilty, they should keep in mind that Flynn and Mustard were completely different people and that Mustard was only a character, although the most suspicious character in the game.

This offer to testify came on the heels of an accusation from his wife that Flynn was not showing his cards when he was supposed to. He explained that he hadn't heard her ask and just because he was asking for immunity didn't mean he was doing anything wrong, saying "Accidents happen, I might have misremembered the rules a little, but we don't need to make a big deal out of it.”

The family did not take Mr. Flynn up on his offer to testify however, arguing that it would ruin the integrity of the game and that playing the game was just a fun thing to do on a Sunday when people are obligated to spend time with their families, no matter how much they don't want to.

They went on to reassure him that they knew he wasn’t guilty of anything more than being a threat to national security, and that soon this board game controversy would be over and he could focus his energy back on hoping President Trump could distract the media long enough so that he could find a way to not be held responsible for his actions.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
