...Bore. At most sites it's easier to get in than to get out, since Webmasters tend to fill all the space available, which online is infinite. Did you know that Kona beans thrive in the dark volcanic soil, sunny mornings and cloudy afternoons of Hawaii? I didn't either, but now I've brought it up at three parties. I've turned into the kind of person I used to avoid...

Whether it is seen as a win or a weak compromise remains to be seen. The pact, TIME has learned, does not set any quotas for minority representation either in front of or behind the cameras.

...take his office as vice president and whoever the second place finisher is be allowed to assume the office instead. Ms. Driskell should also be given immunity from being impeached by the council for anything connected to the campaign finance scandal. People will be alienated and upset if either both Driskell and Burton are allowed to assume office or if they are both barred from holding office.
