My Cheating Art:new
I'm a strong man. I can usually last a few hours without female company. After that point, my crushing fear of romantic isolation sends me out into the darkness, seeking to pair up, to find any warm body to drag home next to me.

Library Internet Filters Solve Nothingnew

Wimblehack! The Search for America's Worst Campaign Journalistnew
Though we're tempted to blame the politicians for the embarrassing, uninspiring, degrading and even unentertaining exchange of sneering teenage accusations between the Bush and Kerry camps, it's time to dig deeper. It's time to blame the press corps.
