I blame the economy

You know it is a tough job market when you start seeing help wanted ads like these:

Is this considered honesty?

You don't just get to make sandwiches, you also get to crush dreams. Your very own.

@lyndseyfifield This is why I was watching aljazeera over the weekend. CNN was better than most, but I think they feared for their reporters in reply to lyndseyfifield #
@lyndseyfifield right, I forgot, you are a conservative, so you believe Al Jazeera is a terrorist organization. My bad. in reply to lyndseyfifield #
@lyndseyfifield Because I don't watch television much at all. Besides, I refuse to pay for more than basic cable. in reply to lyndseyfifield #
