I am now 30 years old.
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking: Hey punning pundit, how can I help celebrate this glorious day?
Glad you asked.
I want you to give. isn’t giving one of those liberal democrat [sic] things?
Well, maybe. What if you could be guaranteed that the person you give to won’t just be wasting the money on drugs and loose women? What if you could give a hand up, instead of a hand down?
sure, you straw conservative, say sounds great: how can I do that?
Adult literacy. See, sometimes people don’t get to learn how to read when they should, and so end up having to try to learn later in life. Being an illiterate adult in American society sure is a drawback! So… Project Second Chance
It just takes a moment. And who knows? Maybe one of those adults will take their new skillz and read your blog– everyone is a winner!

“isn’t giving one of those liberal democrat [sic] things?”
No. It’s a shame you can’t even make a plea for a good cause without indulging in your insulting stereotypes.
Adult literacy is one of my bandwagons. I spent 10 years working with the Volunteer Instructors Teaching Adults in Lafayette, LA. I moved 10 years ago and did not continue my work where I now live but it is still in my heart.
My other bandwagon is growing your own vegetables. It seems to be a lost art also. I worry about infrastructure failing and we need to be prepared. And they just taste so much better. There is something great about the planting and watching it grow and then the harvesting.
Martin, that was obliviously a joke. See: “straw conservative”.
