I care (in 140 characters or less)
Submitted by Halifax Magazine blog on 07.22.10 at 7:38am.
Politicians like for you to think that they care about you. If you believe that, it’s more likely you’ll vote for them when they’re up for re-election. This means that they’re constantly looking for ways to show you they care, without having to expend much energy on actually caring.

Submitted by Rainy Saturday on 06.24.10 at 7:53am.
I think high school kids, girls in particular, are sadly misinformed when it comes to the "magic" that is prom night. Expectations are set way too high, and the next thing you know, it's halfway through THE BIG NIGHT and you're chugging a mickey of Smirnoff in the janitor's closet with mascara te...
