funny when things don’t turn out quite like you expect, isn’t it? imagine what they must be thinking now, the powers-that-be at the american family association. strong in their faith in a neo-con majority, they threw out their marriage survey with the confidence of a preacher facing a happy choir. surely the american people will …
i own an ibook. when it works, i think it is a remarkable little machine. when it doesn’t work, i start to wonder if i’m wasting my money. in addition to the last time i mentioned its failings back in march, i’ve had it in for repairs twice (hardware issues both times) and even had …
