Let's have a poll. How long will Brady continually play the victim? I agree Jim, you don't understand the internet. It's not calculus, but your phony outrage tries to make it seem like it is.
"Howell's inadvertent error prompted a handful of bloggers to urge their readers to go to post.blog to vent their discontent, and in the subsequent four days we received more than a thousand comments in our public forum.
