Do you think that this is the result of a decision by your editors to [...]Admittedly this advice might come a little late for those of you stuck in the path of SNOWPOCALYPSE and SNOWPOCALYPSE II: The Quickening.

Credit card usage is slowing. Revolving credit — largely made up of credit card debt — fell by nearly 20% in November, the largest drop on record, according to the Federal Reserve, reflecting less borrowing by consumers and banks’ tighter [...]
The Founding Bloggers:
Founding Bloggers can confirm that we too captured an image of the writing on Governor Palin’s hand. The notes appear to be very innocuous.
On the other hand, the outrage on the left is being completely misunderstood by the right.
