something that actually matters

VOTE, people, VOTE!!!

so kerry may not be your favorite, but john edwards is pretty cute, and anything is better than bush.

experts predict that turnout is what is going to win this election, so be sure to register to vote and go to the polls on election day (or request an absentee ballot).

If you have a rich dead aunt. . .

So those of us making $100/week may not exactly have the funds for a project like this (or even a bedroom with enough space for a bed) but just in case you have a random inheritance, think about spending it on real estate. A savvy investment now could equal a fortune tomorrow (according to my bro the econ major)! NYT reports:

Ms. Oliver, though, was in an enviable position. A decade ago, she inherited $100,000 from an aunt who died young — but she couldn't spend it before she turned 31 unless she did so on school or real estate.
