On the other hand, increasing polarization between the left and right has left few with anything to smile about. Not to mention Congress seems to only be capable of passing new approval rating lows, as voter confidence has essentially gone... »
Free Couches at a Price!
“Take a look,” Courtney said, sending me a link to yet another free craigslist posting. This time the items in question were a couple of couches. A large three seat and a love seat. “AEIOFJEA!!!” I wittily replied. In layman’s terms, that simply meant “CALL HIM NOW!!!” Courtney hastily made plans for a two... »

My Mildly Relevant Setup
