Real Security and Hard Facts
Here’s something way-too-long time coming: the Democratic party today unveiled Real Security, a full-on assault on the misconception that Democrats can’t handle America’s security.

This is one of the tradeoffs that make iLife easy to work with. As long as you’re happy with where Apple stores your files, you won’t have problems. I guess this is ...
