If it were not for Microsoft, many of us would have shittier jobs. However, the company is run by a bunch of polesmoking bedwetters. Funny how far and wide lefty bias reaches.

I’m afraid that people who have blogs wotj zero posts aren’t entitled to opinions.

Sorry. I see them now. But I swear that last night only the frame was showing.
No, I haven’t been drinking. Why?
ps Wasn’t it Kingsolver who prohibited her daughter from putting a flag in the window after 9/11 because that was the true cause or some similar bs?
