I have been using b2Evolution since I started this blog and that's mostly because I didn't know any better. I didn't know what a blog was besides what I saw on blogger. However, now over two years later I have never been happier with this blog engine and I only use half the features. The

(via Bob) Remember Kramer from Seinfield? Well he had a little explosion on a stand-up act he was doing and made quite some brutal racist comments. Here is the video of the comments (*Warning, don’t watch if your easily offended). Then here is the video of him apologizing on the David Letterman show. I love
Why my friend Andrew is not a Buddhist.
