The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

It follows an estranged couple who have erased each other from their memories, then re-met and started dating again.” Starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood, and Tom Wilkinson!

In Physics it’s the force exerted by Mass over a distance and so powerful that it can in certain instances stop Light itself.

Connecticut can’t hardly get more Blue (Statewide, there are local pockets and we are heavily gerrymandered and white, white, white) and while Greens are not particularly strong or organized WFP is and my consistent advice to Democratic candidates is to …
