News courtesty of Jimbo9294 : 2of3 and I were chatting a while back about a new WindowBlinds skin for SDN.  We came up with some ideas and bounced them around to a few people, and the community project idea was set.  The purpose of the project was to design a suite by SDN members to promote this great site and as a tribute of the dedication SK Originals, Hankers & WOM made throughout the skinning community.  Many of the graphics for the project were inspired by the site and were ...

Sometimes I have to wonder if democrats are intentionally trying to destroy the economy, or they are just plain ignorant when it comes to economics.  Being that we are already in double-digit unemployment, trillions wasted on a “stimulus” package that has done nothing but send funds to groups like ACORN, I guess that just isn’t enough.
