Yeah, everyone thinks the Democrats are the party of morality and fiscal responsibility, and they certainly lost the last election due to oversimplifiying their message, pandering to...

PROTIP: Never take campaign advice from your opponent. First off, the 2008 election simply will not be as important as the 2004 one, due to the 1 inevitable and 3 possible Supreme court seats opening up. Second, barring constitutional amendments or unconstitutional laws that get upheld anyway, there...

Laptop Repair
I've got a 133 Pentium laptop made by Acer that I picked up from a sale from my university. After about a few months, the cable connecting the monitor to the motherboard gave out, and despite my best efforts, I can't manage to reach the cable to repair it.

The majority of people don't give a fuck about gay people as long as they don't get a bigger cut of the pie than they do. If you pose the question of gay marriage as a matter of pie cutting (i.e., 'special privelidges for gay people'), they will naturally see this as a bad thing. Since the average p...
