Everyone Loves a Scandal

This past week I just started watching the TV show Scandal. This is the best show on television and it isn’t on the Nielsen top ten list for some crazy reason.  I have been watching the episodes, one after the other, wasting hours of time that I could be doing something worthwhile.  But no.  At ...

Not too long ago, a newer technology came around.  ...
