When Bill Bennett said that “you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down,” he wasn’t just being a racist. I mean, clearly, the guy thinks that blacks are the only people who commit crime in America, and he is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Dear Apple, Re: Photon

I was looking at Keword Sense for some information on how keywords relate to ads, when I noticed that the phrase “Wisconsin Mortage” is one of the highest paying keywords they track.
