I am tired of hearing Twitter CEO Evan Williams give the same old song and dance about his company's revenue strategy.

And gas is still WAY too expensive and I believe it's only lower than $3 per gallon until the election is over... and then, watch out! With the Socialists running Congress we're in for a REALLY rough road to travel. Our founding fathers would probably roll over in their graves if only they knew...
