CSI: Provo, Utah

"Grand Theft A"ddiction
Maybe it’s the fact I finally got used to the streets turning back on each other? Maybe it’s the fact I can pick up prostitutes any time during the day? Or the fact I can “Clean up the ‘hood by offing Drug Dealers? Whatever the case may be, I’ve got a jones for Grand Theft…

Just what does it take?
I can get pissed at the election but what good does that do? I’d like to move but what good does that do changing things? Improving things… What does it take to actually run for political office? US House of Reps for example… I don’t think The Distinguished Gentlemen is that great of a point…
