It doesn't matter if you're red or blue. It doesn't matter if you watch or not. You're about to get about 20 texts asking for $25 before midnight to celebrate someone's debate "victory".

33 years ago today, Sergeant Al Powell helped save dozens of lives after being sent to investigate a prank call coming from Nakatomi Plaza in Los Angeles. Today, like every Christmas Eve, we salute Sgt.Powell. Retweet to honor his bravery.

Amazed at the number of people who simply don't like legislative politics. Complain about the institutions, for sure, but grand Senate speeches are a fairy tale; the essence of a republic is slogging through the negotiations to get a diverse set of representative to vote yes.

STUDENTS The most effective way to cheat on an exam is to READ THE BOOK and then MEMORIZE THE KEY POINTS. Then use that information to answer the questions. SOFTWARE CAN'T DETECT THIS CHEATING METHOD.
