A bounty system would be better maybe...

Obama says that if we don't lift the debt ceiling then disaster will ensue... I think he's talking about disaster for the Democratic party though. They need ever more money to keep buying those ghetto votes...

Stay on the subject next time...

I got incredibly good results by telling the kids before disembarking anywhere what I expected of them, and why, in a really informative manner.

I just love the Evolution Fantasy Land [EFL to insiders]!! It's a magical place where random chance actually takes things to a higher state of organization!! Wow, there is not a single, solitary, not even one [even] thing that I can think of that goes to a higher state of organization without...
