let me preface this; The middle class has no real definition, it depends on the context of the statement that defines what the middle class is for us common folk. With that said, I was listening the other day to a professor over at the U talk about how auto union brought on the demise of the...

Obama's Home Teleprompter Malfunctions During Family Dinner I recommend you watch it and enjoy the news, then go back and watch it again but the second time read the scrolling news at the bottom.

Lawrence, I have a recommendation and I know it is a simple code change. It would be nice to know the actual date when a member joins the site. For example May 12, 2004.
