Among other things: Obama is really popular! Most people like him! Of course I suppose it's always possible that it's all a horrible mistake and if only people realize he's Black they'll turn against him and the Dems. Anyway sure is great for the GOP that the RNC has so much more $ than the DNC.

You may have read my story about Home Franchise Concepts, a multilevel marketing-style scheme that impoverishes the franchisees it lures in to be their own boss. We had the franchisees' top organizer, Kay Sharaf, and franchisee advocate Keith Miller on Organized Money to talk about the story.
The Franchising SchemeBeing your own boss with the help of a franchise business is a excellent way to make money for the people selling the franchises.www.organizedmoney.fm

I'm not going to QT but there's a silicon valley NIMBY complaining about maintaining the historical character of Palo Alto and man that place should look like fucking singapore. Market cap of tech companies based in and around there is like $14 trillion and it's full of fucking bungalows? So broken

Yes. Yes yes yes. Much deserved. Still my favorite Mountain Goats album At the risk of making J.D. blush, here's the blurb I wrote about TALLAHASSEE (2002) for my old blog's ranking of '00s tMG albums:
the Mountain GoatsI don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"
