    If you like what Obama is doing with the country but don't want to vote for a black guy, then Romney might be a good choice. Other than that, I don't see any reason for anyone to choose Romney over...

    As long as you're comfortable in the apartment, stay with it. It's hard to know what will work for one person, because we're all different. Adding windows isn't very expensive though, and I'm not...

    They are still around, or something by that name, but it appears to be just dollhouses, so maybe not the same one.

    What other species drinks milk beyond infancy, and which other drinks the milk of another species of animal? It just doesn't make sense to think that we were intended to drink milk throughout our...
