Even if it's fake, it's still awesome

According to http://www.in2013dollars.com/1969-dollars-to-2015-dollars:

$33 in 1969 → $218.28 in 2015

Still, that ain't shite.

Foul Temptress! (Mirth replying to Gus) ;)

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
