Four Hundred.

Blog Rule #13: A recurring bit only remains a recurring bit if you allow the bit to be recurring.

Every 100 posts, we toss in this quiz of the prior century. Each time, the wiseguys in the YAB Marketing Department promise those who complete the quite all the luxuries in life: fame, glory, legend, free t-shirts. Now the YAB T-Shirt Mill still remains on the shelf due to a lack of starter capital. The money we’ve got; it’s the cost of time we have yet to be able to afford. So as the order list increases with each new winner, our IOU’s grow longer. But the next hundred (The March to 500!) will see the end of GRAD SCHOOL and the return of a life more ordinary. (Oh, and for historical bookkeeping sake, we’re a massive 16 off the pace. Not good at all.)

You have until the actual March 3rd to email your answers to
condon@gwu.edu.

In the last year you have never written about filibustering. Do you edit your questions? I found some other misleading statements.
