The rent-to-own biz is set up to make big bucks off poor people

I know this and yet when I see the actual numbers in a flyer, it's like wow.

I'm not sure NYC would help the blood pressure either, but I do have a cozy spare room.

Kansas City is a nice place, but it lacks an extensive Buffista support network.

I can't tell if msbelle is trying to sell her spare room as cosy or crazy, but I bet it's a bit of both.

I will also point out that there might be a new job for shrift that doesn't even require moving.

I can't tell if I have a post-Nyquil coma or a current-Sudafed coma.

I do need to dust off my resumé, and the sooner the better. Right now, however, I'm concentrating on breathing and not keeling over and not killing people while I sort through this ginormous pile of work.

Kyle McSlarrow, head of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, called the a la carte mandate a "very dangerous idea." He said it would violate cable companies' free-speech rights and would be struck down by the courts.

COZY! My room is not CRAZY.

Good effort, Kyle. Nice swing.

I will now be saying that to people all day long.

Hell, it could lead to Communism, or dogs and cats living together.
