Two million people&#8211;actually more, I&#8217;m sure of it&#8212;were in it together.

It is Monday in Washington, DC, and I have coat envy.  
I flew in last night after ten intense days in my literary bubble at Bennington College in Vermont, and thought I&#8217;d have trouble shifting gears.  But as I waited at the Baltimore airport for the Big Blue Van to take me to [...]]]></description>

According to USA Today, secondhand stores and sales on eBayare up during these recessionary times, but this is ridiculous
It seems that, wanting in on the craze to make side income by selling recycled goods, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was offering a nice, somewhat used Senate seat for sale.  But the seat didn&#8217;t come cheap, [...]]]></description>
