Apparantly, Bush is dropping out of the election and letting McCain run. Weird time for this to happen, but anyway. Click here for an article. (http://life.short.be/)

Nice try :p

Y'know, there's shameless promotion, and then there's depraved, desperately shameless plugging. Then, we get to your promotion of your website. Come on, man.

And below all of that is the pointlessness of your posts.

Thanks for the bump though.

That was sad...

Thanks for the bump though.
Anytime ;)

Seriously though, this is getting almost as bad as Cuneo Island constantly mentioning his wife (if anyone remembers that, it was pre-Joltage)

Not that I care, at least it isn't shameless spam. (COME BACK, FORUM 7!!)

There is nothing to be ashamed of shameful plugs.

Wait a sec...

Quotations Marks with Other Punctuation

One question that frequently arises with quotation marks is where to place other punctuation marks in relation to them. Again, these rules vary from region to region, but North American usage is quite simple:

1. Commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks.

I know you are fond of the story "Children of the Corn," but is it an appropriate subject for your essay?
"At last," said the old woman, "I can say I am truly happy."

2. Semicolons and colons always go outside the quotation marks.

She never liked the poem "Dover Beach"; in fact, it was her least favourite piece of Victorian literature.
He clearly states his opinion in the article "Of Human Bondage": he believes that television has enslaved and diminished an entire generation.

3. Question marks, exclamation marks, and dashes go inside quotation marks when they are part of the quotation, and outside when they do not.

Where is your copy of "The Raven"?
"How cold is it outside?" my mother asked.

Note that in North American usage, you should use single quotation marks (') only to set off quoted material (or a minor title) inside a quotation.

"I think she said `I will try,' not `I won't try,'" explained Sandy.
