Terrible, Terrible Experience
When I ordered this, it said it would arrive on the 16th, but it didn’t show up until the 18th, and even then it was delivered while I was out buying garden supplies, so I had to go pick it up the next day. It works fine, but I’m so upset about the poor customer service I’m giving it one star.

Don’t miss the three-star review at the end.

“Ted Kennedy was more of a man’s man than any of the brush-clearing, hick-talking, pick-up driving politicians who overcompensate again and again by faking it.”

The question is less about fucking up, but how a man reacts to it. He was kicked out of Harvard for cheating on an exam, so he joined the military (although he would achieve none of the glory of John and Joe, Jr.). When the Chappaquiddick incident happened, he nutted up and told the voters to decide on his fate. He was a hard-drinking son of a bitch who screwed around on his first wife, a Dean Martin-like punchline to jokes about alcoholism and a tabloid laughingstock. During that period, among other things, he was getting funding cut off to Chile because of Pinochet’s barbarism, pushing legislation to help political refugees, getting sanctions imposed on apartheid-era South Africa, negotiating with Gorbachev on nuclear missiles, stopping Robert Bork’s Supreme Court nomination, and strengthening the Civil Rights Act. What did you do on your years-long bender?

Perhaps the ‘baggers will try to shout down U.S. Rep. Vic Snyder at his town hall meeting Wednesday night to talk about the Employee Free Choice Act and health reform. It’s being hosted by the Central Arkansas Labor Council at a union hall on Enmar Drive.

That’d be here:
