I know the layered look is in, but normally when someone says “change clothes,” they mean to take off the dirty clothes before putting on the fresh ones. Sorry if I was unclear about that.

Why Politics Makes Me Hurt

| August 24, 2008

Many people today put their political labels on such a pedestal that even the “compassionate” learn to harden themselves and even the logical learn not to think for themselves. It doesn’t matter whether you are conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, if you let your political persuasion decide your views for you, then you have […]

Note to Chase:

| August 24, 2008

You say “I’ll call back when you’re in a better mood.”I say if you call 51 times in a single day, I guarantee I will not ever be in a better mood. Note to readers:If you are smart, don’t ever, ever, ever get a Chase credit card.

An unknown error occurred (4280) I […]
