Common Sense, a Super PowerCommon Sense Flyer - Side 1So, Gamestop continues to profit through the sinking American economy. I couldn't be happier for them, really. I figure, since they're on to a great business strategy (however much I hate them), that maybe they'll increase beyond their capacities and implode and leave way for a slightly less shady mainstream game retail chain.

Two Questions of a Soon-to-be Immigrant (by Gareth Higgins)
Common Sense: Addresses to the Common Sense cartoon 9 - catalog In a few weeks, I will make a life-changing journey. After 33 years of living in Northern Ireland, and for very good reasons, I am about to become an immigrant. I'm excited about this move, not least because I believe that doing something new is one of the best ways to grow as a human being. But two questions come to mind as I prepare myself for leaving home. The first is, "What will it feel like to be an immigrant?" Will I be welcomed by the people in my adopted country? Will I stand out? Wi read

Adios suckers.
Common Sense T-shirts larger image Common Sense, who has been with Good news about illegal aliens, they're leaving. It makes sense, enforce the laws and they start to leave. What a concept! Next there should be a push to prosecute anyone knowingly hiring or renting to illegals, a corresponding push to wipe out the gangs that are mostly comprised of these idiots and finally let's build a fence on BOTH the northern and southern borders, electrify it and mine the perimeters for ten yards on either side. We've needed secure borders since before 9/11/01. Yeah, I k read
How the iPhone Has Changed the Mobile Game
photo of Common Sense pamphletcommon senseFinally, after weeks/months of waiting I got an iPhone 3G. You may recall the mix-up I had at the AT&T Wireless store which seemed like it would keep me from ever getting one. Well, the store manager had been emailing me regularly this past week and when the phone came in yesterday, I thought it better to get it quickly before they give it to someone else again. The store manager gave me a free iPhone case and screen protector for my trouble and the funny thing is, I really wasn't that upse read
