Adwords 10 out of 10 Quality ScoreOct 8, 12 12pm

I'm sure everyone is looking for information on this, so I'll give you some insight into all the things I've discovered while advertising for Anime Midwest in Chicago. These tips are ones that I've discovered after a ton of research, not the usual stuff.

One of the best things I've seen all week.Jun 20, 12 8pm

The city of Troy, Michigan was facing a budget shortfall, and was considering closing the Troy Public Library for lack of funds. Even though the necessary revenues could be raised through a miniscule tax increase, powerful anti-tax groups in the area were organized against it.

Really ListeningFeb 24, 12 2pm

I am really listening... to some cool Nerdcore music. You should remember that by the first day, it's already too late.

Occupy EverythingDec 6, 11 1am

We should occupy everything. Occupy Wall Street. Occupy the moon. Occupy everything. The growing income disparity between the rich and the poor is pretty sad. As such gaps increase, the barriers for a young person to make it in a huge way increase every day.
