Not the best idea

“A campaign spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for a full inventory of the Romneys’ vehicles.”
Not sure if you’re trying to appeal to the middle class that this is the best way to go.

I haven’t taken a study drug larger than 30 mg since sophomore year. Just took a 70 mg Vyvanse (didn’t realize it at the time) at 3:45 in order to write a lengthy, lengthy paper on the philosophical concerns about medicinal marijuana. I’m now super emotional (I misssssss Bonnaroo and the Tennessee sun! Can’t wait to go back next year! Ticket purchased! Woo!) and...

I freak out about a good setlist.
Best kind of setlists:
- vary night to night
- new, unique openers and possible covers

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther…and one fine morning—so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Faux Facebook Activism is Bullshit.
After discovering that the pro-democratic revolutions throughout the Middle East widely used Facebook and Twitter in the organization and effectiveness of the rallies, critics celebrated the apparent peak of social networking. With stories like those, along with Facebook being an integral part of the Obama campaign’s successful grassroots organizing, it’s easy to see why Mark Zuckerburg’s...
