Bank Of America Earned 4.4 Billion in 2009 and...
anglophonic:
And likewise, because of loopholes worked out secretly in Washington the top six American banks paid less than 11% of their reported income in taxes.

4chan Founder: Anonymity is Authenticity
As the creator of one of the Internet’s most base, vile and creative websites, 4chan founder Chris Poole knows a little bit about the effects of user identity on user behavior. 4chan, a completely anonymous, real-time message forum, is the birthplace of many an Internet meme and user identity, or the lack thereof, can play a big part in this.

– Matthew 6:1-8, NJB
If you’ve been wondering why the influx of these quotes, well — this is the Year of Matthew, and St Matthew is full of things to say about social justice :) Also, Lenten season. I’m an atheist, but I like to reflect on this heritage of mine.

Tumblr has had this tragedy boner for a while now, and I’m starting to worry that it it’s a symptom of a bigger problem.
You know how those viagra commercials tell you to call 911 if your dick stays hard for too long? When that happens, when your dick just won’t lay down, that’s called priapism.
