Luckily, your job doesn't depend on courting independent voters.

Son of a bitch... The Revival Tour came through Chapel Hill and I was out on business. I've never been so upset to miss a concert.

One of my favorite frontmen (Hot Water Music) trying his hand at folk. I've been off-and-on obsessed with his solo stuff over the past 3 months.

Ask Jose Canseco. He seems pretty on the ball.

Germany has been this way since World War II... they go to great lengths to avoid any kind of nationalistic or discriminatory behavior from their citizens. I mean, can you blame them?

Were the bats ever raped?
