if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

Free idea to every current author who does sci-fi: - Over the next few months, each of you concentrate on writing a novel titled The Last Algorithm - Each of you write it under psuedonym, using each others' names but misspelled by one letter - Get necessary publisher buy-in for same-day release date

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...
