After the disgusting, shady pay raises voted on at 2 a.m. by our state legislators a few weeks ago, a website has been started in the hopes of ousting every single legislator who voted for the pay raise, regardless of party affiliation.

A congressman is trying to pass a law that would allow prosecution of anybody who falsely claimed to have won a Purple Heart.

Wow. The Champs made themselves known last night. First, one of the Champs showed up at the Bards for the 4th round and got all ten questions right, having just come from winning by himself at Rembrandt’s. Then I received this e-mail from team member Slick Rick: “Johnny, please let it be known that we’re not bad guys. We sincerely wish all the other competitors luck in their quest to finish second.
