Perhaps you need some help from the tech-savvy, at-risk youth.

It's my understanding that there are now things called "internets" that allow you to send notes and get information on current events. I'm glad that you included the internet in this letter, which is the kind of thing we need in today's dialogue, but it doesn't seem to be cooperating. I may be doing it wrong, but I spent those five-and-a-half years in prison because I love this country, not because I was hoping for easy technological answers when I got out. Could your staff look into it and get back to me? Thank you friends.

Did I read that right?

Either the public sets a low bar for vice-presidents or the right-wing is taking over PBS. Come to think of it, the PBS demographic is something like 50 years and up.

I'm sure it's refreshing to click on your opinion multiple times, but it's about as effective as a bumper sticker, and without the financial contribution.

So game it back, Sloggers.

Seriously, how often do people live while the once most powerful nations descends into total obscurity?

It's the only thing LESS effective than an internet petition.

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

The question is, is McCain qualified? He wasn't born here...

Savage can't be bothered to spell check, can't be bothered to include all words in his posts, can't be bothered to remember to include his little green box thingy in the upper left tagging his posts with a theme, and can't be bothered to get the links right.

Continually.

Seriously, shut the fuck up. Do errors on a blog upset you that much? Are they really worth complaining about? How 'bout you go off and make your own site, free of all the errors here you find so troublesome.
