The (new) color of money"The federal government will unveil a new $20 bill that will introduce a predominant but subtle color into the background, marking the first time in modern history that a U.S. bill will feature a color other than green."I think the American people should be allowed to vote on the color just like we did with M & M's. Wouldn't it be tres cool to whip out a $20 that matches your eye color or favorite shade of lipstick?? heh.. 5:38:39 PM comment []

Which religion is right for your complexion?It's one I've never tried on, but isn't it time for a change? I mean, Spring IS almost here...link via The Presurfer Rely on the little black dress of religion - Episcopalianism! You are a passionate person, too busy for the muss and fuss of fashion OR religion. Sure you buy it in a box, but does that mean that you can't both look AND feel good? Mais non! The architecturally correct lighting in liberal churches is forgiving to your complexion. Not only does it minimize pore size but it bathes you in a glow of chic immediacy. You are SO here and now. Functionality and utility mix successfully with classic forms. Liberal issues provide you with something to talk about besides tax shelters and working out and soften the edges of your utilitarian (not unitarian!) nature. You have a tendency towards thin nails and hair which could be mitigated by adding butter or other solid fats to your diet. Remember, Christ fulfilled the law. God wants your coat to be shiny! 12:59:35 PM comment []
