"...quarter of the ballots its expecting..." I wonder how this happened?
I think it's rich that a John Obi Mikel, a black Chelsea player would make this accusation while his team were red carded down to nine men against Manchester United, but he plays day in and day out with John Terry. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/…
I'm with @2. I fucking hate it when the news isn't completely and thoroughly reported to my satisfaction in a single lump in the morning! I demand better free news!
One (1) PETA volunteer mails one (1) letter, which costs 37 cents. Result? The news media goes bananas and PETA's name once again is on everyone's lips.
@2 OMG! You're right! The Stranger is such a terrible paper to ignore non-Americans who died during a recent tragedy!
They're not like.... uh.... hmmm.... let's see.... An American-based news outlet that doesn't concentrate on American deaths while ignoring foreign deaths.... gee.... I know! The... no... not that one... huh... Not much thru history, either. Certainly not during the Iraq War(s), or the Vietnam War, or any other time in American history...
Well, the good thing is that facts never stopped anyone from claiming the moral highground, so go @2! Fuck Yeah!

@2, did you send money to help those people? I guess your moral high ground is all the support they need.
Raise. The. Roof!
One stamp, that's what they spent.
