Yes, you can fool them all, but the question is whether your integrity and standing in the community is worth $25 plus $6 shipping and handling.” Thanks for the heads up...

thanks to Inky, I now have a working google search box for cultrvultr. You’ll find it at the bottom of the right hand column. Use it to find your favorite posts, or when you need proof for that argument with your friend. It seems like it is not 100% yet, but hopefully google can throw some money at it and get their shit together.

Americans earned a smaller average income in 2005 than in 2000, the fifth consecutive year that they had to make ends meet with less money than at the peak of the last economic expansion, new government data shows. […] The combined income of all Americans in 2005 was slightly larger than it was in 2000, but because more people were dividing up the national income pie, the average remained...

a lot of noise has been made about gbox, the supposed “itunes killer”. I can’t use the damn thing cause I am on a mac, but when wishlists and embed codes are listed as two of the top features of a new website it makes me think that this was the Geico Caveman’s final project for his “Introduction to Dreamweaver” night class

Video: Giuliani Compares Welfare Recipients to... →
