Everyone does pay taxes. The rich just pay a far lower share. Time to end that shit.

Here's the most interesting part to me:

The OP says that her family members "were loyal GM purchasers." She then claims that her father "did not support the government bailout of GM, so when it came time to purchase his new car this past summer, he went with a Ford."

So...the OP's father was so loyal to GM that he couldn't stand the fact that it wasn't allowed to go out of business (and was, instead returned to profitability), so he decided to show his loyalty even more by buying a Ford. Okaaayyyy...

"First of all, that $19.99 instead of $20 makes customers less likely to question the value of an item, as it seems retailers have arrived at that precise number through careful calculation, says SmartMoney."

In fairness, Molly got many questions correct all on her own. For instance:

1) What's on top of the house? ROOF.
2) What's on the outside of a tree? BARK.
3) What's that web site where you can rate restaurants and hotels? YELP.

Although admittedly, they had to step on her tail to get her to answer that last one correctly.

Now I understand why people like Rick Perry are all worried that allowing gay marriage will lead to people marrying their pets. After all, in their world, dogs already get diplomas. What's to stop them from getting marriage licenses?

Don't Bother Getting A Kindle Fire Unless You Have A Credit Card

Because without a credit card on file, they can't automatically charge you again at the end of the year if don't want the service but forget to cancel in time. They're at your mercy to actually make a deliberate effort to opt in. And they can't allow that sort of thing to happen.

"...it would look really stupid if a character is drinking a generic can of soda..."

You obviously haven't seen many TV shows from before around 1990, because that's exactly how it was done.
