The people who know me well will know that I used to drive an old 1993 Chrysler Plymouth grand voyager SE. Well it broke and thanks to the government we could get more money for it then it was worth, so today we took it to Glendale KIA (they were actually super nice and non-pressuring) [...]

Today a random teacher talked about Obama’s address yesterday. He said that it was the first time that he heard a president talk about education in the past 8 years.

Every fiscal year Wikimedia (the organization behind Wikipedia) produces an annual report that talks about what it has accomplished and how it spent money. This year’s report can be viewed here.
