Anyone who donates $250 or more to the Barack Obama fund here (in case you reall can afford it or can convince people to go in on it with you) will receive a tote bag full of signed books from all kinds of authors, and the books can be anything from a ( Read more... )

All I want is an intelligent character. Just one. I thought that Mrs. Petrelli qualified, but now I am not sure. She still may, I guess. And Mr. Bennett may be all right. So maybe I should qualify my plea, and say that I want one of the younger generation to be intelligent.

So I have just discovered this kind of amazing website www.booksalefinder.com/  No matter where you are, it can help you.

Also, in addition to Les Misbarack vid, and the Tina Fey SNL skit, I have just been directed toward a Golden Girls one here which is hilarious even if you don't know anything about the GOlden Girls, like me.

Problem with that is that the Inquisitor reacted to a scar on Jace's shoulder, which she ( Read more... )
