Elegant Sentiments, Summer Edition
Ladies and Gentlemen, your amusing, intriguing, and horrifying articles of the day:
- Gangsta Rap.
- Sex is...get this..financially rewarding for individuals. No wonder businesses hated the free love movement! They can only get it on by bending you over!
- Rudy Giuliani is caught lying about 9/11...he knew the buildings were going to fall, but never notified them to evacuate.
- Immigrants sue employers for back wages. Better hurry...you only have 180 days to do it now!
- Creationist museum opens. Good thing lots of people believe in evolution.
- "A million dollars isn't much anymore". Oh thank goodness, now we can stop worrying about those 5 billion souls who live on less than $1 a day.

- 40% of Americans have relatives/friends that are gay. Only 60% to go, folks. Time to burn closets to the ground!

- The US now has $59.1 trillion dollars in liabilities, or $516,348 for each household. It also amassed $1.3 trillian of that last year alone, or $11,434 per household.

They refuse to use the same accounting standards that state/local governments and businesses must use.
- Microsoft Surface. An awesome table (running Windows Vista) that does all sorts of potentially amazing things (for only $5,000-$10,000).
- The Government of Poland apparentlyhas nothing better to do.
