• Commented on Rejoice Penguins, Wells Fargo Has An ATM In Antarctica

• Commented on NYC Finds Artistic Street Vendors Shockingly Uncooperative
  "The selling of their works, that's not free speech, that's Commerce." You're wrong and that's why I am not going to debate this on Consumerist. The courts have repeatedly - and I do mean repeatedly - ruled that they have...
• Commented on NYC Finds Artistic Street Vendors Shockingly Uncooperative
  Let's make something clear. The Bloomberg administration does not care about congestion in the parks. When there is a corporation that wants something, the city is happy to let them create all the congestion they want. The city rents out...

• Commented on Apple Engineers Sleeping At Work To Fix Antenna Problem
  "Plenty of hard data was cited." That's not hard data. That's testimonial. They gave figures without anything to back them up. And -- not surprisingly -- they only gave "hard data" that supported what they wanted you to come away...

• Commented on Government Wipes Out Geese Population In Brooklyn To Ensure Airplane Safety
  Yes, many of the geese were brought here as decoys for hunting. Yes, as you said, they were endangered. And therefore some were brought to resupply low populations in the US. This is where the vast majority of geese in...

• Commented on 25 Percent Of American Consumers Now Have Low Credit Scores

• Commented on Secret Of The In-N-Out Burger Revealed?
