Election Day should be a national holiday. No one should be working. We should be at the polls and then maybe a bbq as we wait for results to come in. There should be floats and parades. We shouldn't have to beg people to go out and vote. It should be celebrated.

I've done okay for someone who was told that in order to succeed, one must be extroverted, a morning person, forceful, aggressive, and expensively dressed.

@pattonoswalt My kids had the same reaction when we watched Alien the other night. My wife and I prepped them for an intense experience. They were like "that movie was goofy and lame. What's your deal? Stupid old people."

Love this. Requiring an in-person visit as the "easiest" way to cancel a subscription is ridiculous.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

BREAKING: The FTC has announced the “click-to-cancel” rule that will require companies to let you cancel any product as easily as you registered.

Long, difficult cancelation processes will be illegal.

If you signed up with a click, they’ll have to let you cancel with a click.

I know it's INTENDED to be helpful, but does it really help?
