Congrats to the Simpsons you were created 19 years ago today.
In their honor I will post some links to some clips, and ask for some in return.
Went to the gym with my brothers last night. It was great.
I was offered a non-paying internship for the summer. What is with these middle-class run organizations not paying people?
Whats great about the Democratic Trifecta in the federal government? Things like:
# Obama's promises to start closing Gitmo and outlaw torture, via executive order during his first days in office and if not then their is HR 374, Jane Harman's bill to "require the closure of the detention facility at Guatanamo Bay, Cuba, to limit the use of certain interrogation techniques, to prohibit interrogation by contractors, to require notification of the International Committee of the Red Cross of detainees, and for other purposes" obsolete (S 147, introduced by Diane Feinstein, is the matching bill in the Senate).
Gerald Nadler's HR 34, to delay and potentially reverse Bush administration regulations made since October 22nd.
legislation in either the next bailout or as separate legislation to allow bankruptcy judges to rewrite mortgages according to current home values
For anyone looking to live in NYC, here is a great listing from Craig'slist.

I am a born again Christian. Why is this a problem for people????! I have a house that's MINE and I PAID FOR IT. I also have a basement apartment for rent. It's a great space [and] I'm charging very little for it, $480 monthly, for the right tenant. I know it's ILLEGAL to require a Christian in the apartment, against the human rights. That's why I NEVER put this in my ad. Why then does it keep getting taken down?
HERE IS THE AD I POSTED, AND THE AD THAT KEEPS GETTING REMOVED:
Available Immediately - Broadway and Commercial - Showing Saturday and Sunday - Email for directions and additional information.
What kind of apartment is it?
* One bedroom basement apartment with separate entrance
* Tastefully decorated with modern décor
* Approximately 650 square feet
* There is even a window! Security bars installed for your safety and to prevent unauthorized activity
* Closed circuit camera installed for security and safety. One in your suite, one at the entrance, and one in the exercise yard
Rent:
* $480.00 per month
* First month’s rent + ½ month security deposit due at move in
* Small pet allowed with approval and payment of additional ½ month pet damage deposit
* One year lease permitted, option to renew lease at end of the term with no increase in rent
* LANDLORD’S SPECIAL! Move in before January 1st and don’t pay for the remainder of December! That’s significant savings.
Included in the rent:
* Electricity
* Heat - Maintained at 21 degrees with lock box to prevent unauthorized tampering. Additional heating available for $20.00 per extra degree of heating per month. You may not use your oven to heat the apartment. If you do, you will be fined $50.00 per occurrence.
* Air conditioning - Maintained at 25 degrees during the summer with lock box to prevent extra cooling from being dispensed. Additional cooling for sale for $20.00 per degree of cooling requested per month.
* 25" Zenith color television set with basic cable service - INCLUDED IN RENT!
* Wireless internet (with content filter applied to block forbidden/immoral websites) - INCLUDED IN RENT!
* Provision of coin laundry services - You will have your own personal coin laundry washer and dryer machines. Washers and dryers are paid using a token system. Tokens can be purchased through the landlord. Washer tokens cost $4.15 each and dryer tokens cost $3.60 each. You are not allowed to use foreign currency or slugs in the washer and dryer. Violators will be fined $100.00 per infraction.

Best Apartment ad ever. I mean who doesn't want to have your landlord coming in to your place anytime day or night? Although I'd probably draw the line on no smoking and no boisterous activity in the exercise year. Its an exercise yard what else are you supposed to do? Meditate? That is not exercise dammit!
