they had me until they told me i had to relocate to the town the newspaper actually prints in.

 

Isn't it just a little ironic for a paper to be named the Progressive and not have a Web site?

 

And here I thought there were only Portlands along both coasts.

 

clutch, clutch stuff.

 

This ad seems to say that because it is Corey Brewer's hometown, it is a great job.

Uh, that's all I need to hear. I'm sold.

 

Other than Corey Brewer, that team was horrible. I saw them play several times against out-of-state small schools. They lost all of those games.

 

that does it. clutchcargo, you're hired!
