It will also be interesting to compare various US news sources and see whch aspects of the resignation are stressed, which are ignored and which news outlets stress which ones."

I’m not one of these people. I recognize that you may be evil, but you’re one smart cookie. This is why I’m inviting you to join my team and be my adviser.

Here are the things I need advising on:
# How to make money off of this blog
