I haven’t yet seen the finale (I’ll be watching it along with you screener-deficient folks), but I’m genuinely sad to lose my Thursdays with this awesomely dense comedy, which amounted to a grenade made of zingers.

line. Industrial workers of Foxconn have been worked in poor environment, lived in a tiny shared dormitory and endured sweatshop work for excessive and forced overtime.

Arizona argued the law was a safety measure designed to minimize the risk of "slack action" accidents to which longer trains are susceptible. The Court applied a test

The Perfect Owner for the Popular Pit Bull I can still recall the graphic story my mother told me of how our family dog, a Jack Russell Terrier named Jack, was mauled and nearly killed by an American Pit Bull Terrier, or APBT.

I stumbled across his channel about two years ago, looking for a workout regimen, and the rest is history. Elliot is a pro
