News - Political polls may not be reliable because fewer people are
answering their phones: http://makeashorterlink.com/?F26252A52
Comment - For example, Brandon has a cell phone, not a land line. That means
he does not get calls from pollsters (they can't call cell phones without
permission) and maybe the polls under represent his age group.
Get to the polls today and vote! That's the only poll that counts. Save time
by going to this Web site and printing out the ballot that will appear at
your voting place. You just enter your name and city:

News - 100 hilarious rules for writing: http://alexlockhart.no-ip.org/
Comment - Some examples: "Beware of and eschew pompous prolixity, and avoid
the utilization of enlarged words when shortened ones will suffice", "Don't
never use no double negatives", and "In all cases, you should never
generalize."
