Maryland to GOP candidate: You have 30 days to pay taxesBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 20. 2014 8:27PM
CONCORD — The state of Maryland is attempting to collect back taxes it says are owed by Republican gubernatorial candidate Walt Havenstein, according to the head of that state's tax department.
Havenstein received nearly $9,000 in combined tax credits from 2006 through 2011 by claiming he was eligible for the homestead tax credit, in which homeowners must claim a Maryland home as their primary residence, said Robert E. Young, director of Maryland's Assessment and Taxation Department.
"The state of Maryland has determined, based on (Havenstein's statements) that he was not a resident of Maryland and is a resident of (New Hampshire), he is not entitled to those tax credits," Young said Wednesday night.
Young said Havenstein has 30 days to pay the bill without facing interest or penalties.
Havenstein's campaign called the bill a politically motivated attack.
"The Havensteins received bills from a tax office with no explanation for them," Havenstein campaign spokesman Henry Goodwin said in a statement. "That the state of Maryland has given information to news outlets that was withheld from the Havensteins should be deeply troubling to all taxpayers."
"If the intent of the tax office was simply to settle this matter, they would have provided an explanation. The fact that they instead leaked it to the media suggests that their motivation was political," Goodwin said.
Young said his office received a request to look into the matter from the government of Montgomery County in Maryland, where Havenstein lived from 2007 until selling his home in 2012.
"They are zealous in maintaining their property tax base," he said.
He said his office receives "thousands" of requests each year to look into homestead requirements, as members of Congress are frequently scrutinized to see if they accepted homestead credits in Maryland while still claiming their home states as primary residences. He said only those claiming Maryland as a primary residence may claim the homestead tax credits.
"Not as far as my office was concerned was this political in nature," Young said. To qualify for the credit, a home in Maryland "must be your one, primary residence where you reside for more than six months in one year."
Havenstein was criticized Wednesday by the New Hampshire Democratic Party, which early in Havenstein's campaign chided him for accepting tax breaks reserved for residents of Maryland, while he was the chief executive of two national defense contractors, by claiming the state as his primary residence until 2012.
"It has always been clear that failed CEO Walt Havenstein was either ineligible to run for governor of New Hampshire or misled Maryland on his taxes," NHDP spokesman Bryan Lesswing said in a statement.
Havenstein argued that he always intended to remain a New Hampshire resident. The Ballot Law Commission ruled 3-2 to uphold Secretary of State Bill Gardner's decision to accept his filing to run for governor.
Former Gov. John H Sununu, in the campaign's release, called the bill an attack orchestrated by Democrats, pointing out that Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is a Democrat.
"That the Democrats are willing to use a gross abuse of power to attack Walt is despicable," Sununu said in the statement.
But the campaign of Andrew Hemingway, Havenstein's opponent in next month's Republican primary, said the bill is another indication that Havenstein was either not eligible to run for governor or was improperly accepting tax breaks in Maryland.
"He couldn't have it both ways," Hemingway campaign spokesperson Alicia Preston said. "This is further a demonstration that there is too much baggage and ammunition for the Democrats to use against him in November if he were to be the nominee. The Republicans deserve the right for a chance at the corner office and someone who has to do nothing but defend himself repeatedly, can't provide that chance."

I found this book interesting because it was written like a girl's diary and has lots of funny things written down. I would like to be just like Annie because she thought of the idea to start the club and writes lots of ideas in her diary. I think I might start keeping a diary and writing down things since I have read this book. When I was a little girl I liked to get flower petals and leaves and throw them into the sky. This book reminded me of that and, I don't know why, but I really like stories with flowers in them. This story taught me that it is better to be my real self than to try to change a lot to impress new friends-- even boy friends. Even though the book does not have any pictures that was not a problem. I could still understand the story without pictures.
I recommend that girls who want to make new friends read this story. The book was a little hard to read but worth the time and effort. Girls will probably like this story better than boys! When I asked the boys in my fifth grade class, they didn't like the idea of getting flowers from a girl!

It has been nearly three months since the city's dog park committee last met. The city's website does not list a date for any future meetings.
It has been nearly three months since the city's dog park committee last met. The city's website does not list a date for any future meetings. I wrote a letter to The Standard-Times in December that expressed my frustration with the lack of progress the committee has made. To her credit, Councilor Jane Gonsalves, who serves as the committee chairwoman, left me a voicemail offering to answer any questions I had concerning the committee and its work over the last four years. I opted not to return her call. I felt that I succinctly stated the three most critical questions I had regarding the possibility of a dog park in New Bedford.
1. Does the mayor's office support this effort?
2. Why were Buttonwood and Brooklawn parks eliminated from consideration as possible sites?
3. Why can't the tennis courts or ball fields at Buttonwood or Brooklawn parks be used temporarily to evaluate the operation of a dog park?
Some official comment from Councilor Gonsalves and the mayor's office in these pages would at least provide some insight into the city's commitment to the concept. It is especially frustrating for dog owners to provide adequate exercise for their pets in the winter months. Sidewalks remain snow-covered, city crews pile mountains of snow on residential street corners, and most business owners clear their lots with little or no regard for pedestrians.
Census results indicate that in the past few years there are now more households with dogs than with children under the age of 18 and the gap is widening. The city of New Bedford needs to adapt to the times and provide a viable recreational outlet for its taxpayers and the dogs that it licenses on an annual basis.

LOS ANGELES, July 12 (UPI) -- "Arrested Development" executive producer Brian Grazer says he is in talks with Netflix to bring the U.S. cult comedy series back for a fifth season.
"We are in conversations with them to do another," Grazer told Bloomberg Television Thursday. "They are interested in doing that."
E! News quoted Grazer's fellow executive producer and the show's creator Mitch Hurwitz as recently saying he is "game" for a fifth season.
However, he cautioned: "I don't have a timeline yet. If there's more, I promise you we will put a date out there."
Netflix Chief Executive Officer Reed Hastings told CNBC in May a fifth season of the series is possible if all the cast members, many of whom also have busy film schedules, can find time to record fresh episodes.
The critically acclaimed but low-rated show about a wealthy dysfunctional family was canceled in 2006 after three seasons but has had a second life on DVD.
Netflix revived the series for a 15-episode fourth season this spring. Most of the show's original cast -- including Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross and Alia Shawkat -- returned for the fourth season.

With the U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of a federal ban on same-sex marriages, Florida lawmakers say they will renew their uphill fight to provide more legal protections for gay and lesbian Floridians.
A few months before the landmark court ruling, the Florida Legislature reached its own historic milestone when a legislative committee — for the first time — backed a bill recognizing same-sex relationships.
The Senate Children, Families and Elder Affairs Committee voted 5-4 for legislation, called the "Families First Act," creating a statewide domestic partnership registry that could extend some legal protections to same-sex couples. Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, played a key role in advancing the bill, joining four Democrats in support of the legislation.
But the bill stalled at its next stop in the Senate Judiciary Committee. A companion measure was never heard in the House.
Following the Supreme Court decision, Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, who has been trying win approval for the domestic partnership legislation for the last five years, said she is ready to refile the measure for the 2014 session, which begins next March.
The bill creates a domestic partnership registry — which would be open to opposite-sex as well as same-sex couples — and protects the right of registered couples to visit their partners in hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities and mental health facilities. The partners would also have the right to be notified in the case of emergencies and in cases where no will existed they would have the authority to deal with the remains of their partner.
"We must end the constitutional ban against same-sex marriage in Florida," Sobel said after the new ruling. "We made history in the Florida Senate this past session and will continue our public dialogue."
Sobel said she would like to see a statewide domestic registry law to replace the "patchwork" of local registry laws — including Sarasota and Venice — that already cover more than 9 million Floridians in 32 cities and counties.
In the House, Rep. Joe Saunders, D-Orlando, one of the state's first openly gay lawmakers, is also poised to refile his bill aimed at preventing discrimination against Floridians in employment and housing based on their sexual orientation.
Although the bill was never heard in a House committee, Saunders said it represented another "first" in that it drew bipartisan sponsorship in the 2013 session, including from Rep. Ray Pilon, R-Sarasota.
He also noted a University of Florida poll on the issue showed 75 percent of Floridians believe there should be a law banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Yet, despite that, Saunders said the bill never came up in a committee. "Right now in Tallahassee we can't even have this debate about these protections," he said.
Saunders said if that resistance continues, it could have economic consequences for the state with gay and lesbian Floridians opting to live elsewhere in a less hostile environment.
"That's an economic problem that we have to address," he said.
WINNER OF THE WEEK: Same-sex marriage supporters. The U.S. Supreme Court decision to reject a federal law banning same-sex marriages was hailed by gay rights advocates. But the ruling left intact Florida's constitutional ban on same-sex unions.
LOSER OF THE WEEK: Civil rights advocates. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a provision that allowed the federal government to review changes in voting laws in states that had a history of racial discrimination. In Florida, it impacted five counties that had been under the review. Voting rights groups said the decision could weaken the enforcement of voting laws, while others praised the fact that it returns more authority to the states.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "I've been married since I was 19. I believe in traditional marriage," said Gov. Rick Scott, explaining the U.S. Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriages will not impact Florida's constitutional ban against those unions.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (June 4, 2007) — Cardiologists, pulmonologists and other East Carolina University physicians are now seeing patients in the new Moye Medical Center, a three-story facility at 521 Moye Blvd.
University officials said the new practice site, which opened today, is one of many steps to move ECU Physicians, the group practice of the Brody School of Medicine at ECU, into modern, expanded sites during the next three years.
In the 43,000-square-foot building, ECU's cardiology and pulmonary and critical care medicine practices will occupy the 12,637-square-foot first floor. With 19 exam rooms plus special procedure rooms, the facility gives these practices more clinical space than they had before at Medical Pavilion, a facility built in 1966 on West Fifth Street. ECU purchased part of that facility in the 1990s.
"It's going to be much more patient-friendly," said Dr. Ralph Whatley, chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine at ECU and one of the leaders of the effort to move into the new building. "It will be a much better place to take care of our patients and provide services."
Whatley said the Moye Medical Center will have excellent parking and accessibility. He and his staff have also worked to ease and simplify patient movement through the building. Added touches include an open reception area, not someone sitting behind a window; coastal photography by the late Greenville attorney and amateur photographer David Duffus; and fresh flowers adding color and fragrance. As services move into the building's upper floors, greeters will help direct patients where they need to go.
"It is really nice," said Allen Powell, a 54-year-old patient from Washington. "Parking's great. It seems to be really convenient to everyone that's here."
The 14,121-square-foot second floor will be occupied by ECU Physicians' general internal medicine practice, which now sees patients at the Brody Outpatient Center and Medical Pavilion. That group expects to move there this fall.
Plans are to house a digestive diseases center on the third floor, but officials haven't released details yet.
The ECU practices will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Parking is available beside the building.
ECU is leasing the space from Moye Medical I LLC. Leasing sped up the process of moving the practices into new facilities and provided a way to do it with less up-front expense, officials said.
The new building will allow ECU's pulmonary and critical care medicine practice to consolidate patient services in one location. Moye Medical Center has room for special equipment to measure lung function and analyze exhaled gases. It also has room for bronchoscopy and chest fluid-removal equipment.
Nuclear medicine services for cardiology patients will continue to be provided at Medical Pavilion due to the expense and complexity of moving that equipment. That and other cardiology services will move to the new East Carolina Heart Institute after it's finished next year. Officials are considering expanding pulmonary and critical care medicine to occupy the entire first floor at Moye Medical Center once the cardiology practice moves.
An ECU Physicians sign is near the street, and the university plans to add signs to the building itself later this month.
To reach the cardiology practice at Moye Medical Center, call (252) 744-4651. To reach the pulmonary and critical care medicine practice, call (252) 744-1600.

A New Old Look
Vintage fashion boutiques and auctions offer plenty of choice when looking for a unique gift.
"For Christmas, we have men buying vintage for their wives and daughters," says Didier Ludot, whose shops at the Jardin du Palais Royal in Paris are a vintage haute-couture treasure trove. Currently, 1960s and '70s fashion from designers such as Christian Dior , Yves Saint Laurent and Hubert de Givenchy are especially sought after, as are handbags by Hermès, he notes.
At House of Vintage in London, U.K. managing director Marcia Cooper says that, around Christmas, customers frequently pick out vintage cashmere sweaters as gifts. Dresses are also favorites, with the shop helping with size and style. "Flapper dresses from the 1920s and evening dresses from the 1930s are popular," Ms. Cooper says. She warns, however, that vintage lovers are individualists; if your recipient follows the latest fashion trends, vintage may not be the answer.
But for those with a taste for another time, Christie's South Kensington is holding a vintage couture auction on Thursday, with 91 lots featuring luxury garments and Hermès handbags. They include romantic robes by Jeanne Lanvin from the 1920s; "New Look" Dior from the late '40s and '50s; lovely chiffon dresses by Zandra Rhodes and Ossie Clark and Celia Birtwell from the '70s; satin evening wear by Karl Lagerfeld for Chloé from the early '80s; and exotic beaded tops by Gianni Versace from the early '90s.
Rare vintage in fine condition from top 20th-century designers is in demand, says Patricia Frost, international specialist in Christie's Costume and Textile department. "We have lovely black cocktail dresses that are perfect for a party," she adds.
My favorite is a striking velvet evening jacket from 1939 by Elsa Schiaparelli, with embroidered and mirrored baroque panels trimmed with gold scrolls (estimate: £5,000-£8,000). Ultimately feminine is a black tulle evening gown from the 1980s by Oscar de la Renta, with a ruffled skirt adorned with neon-colored feathers (estimate: £1,000-£1,500).
Currently running on Christie's website is an online vintage sale of bags by Hermès and shoes by French shoe designer Christian Louboutin. A pair of his strappy stiletto sandals in fuchsia with cascading chiffon ruffles is expected to fetch between £200 and £400. The online auction closes Nov. 30.
Kerry Taylor will hold her vintage "Passion for Fashion" sale in London on Dec. 4. "We have from wonderful numbers for everyday to the strange and controversial," says Ms. Taylor.
Attention-worthy pieces in her sale include a stenciled, black-silk evening coat, created by Mariano Fortuny circa 1910-20, with gold vine and grape motifs linked by Murano glass beads (estimate: £8,000-£12,000); a draped and ruffled organza cocktail dress in harlequin colors from Alexander McQueen's fall 2009 "The Horn of Plenty" collection, where models with death-white faces and sex-doll red lipstick strutted across a shattered-glass catwalk (estimate: £3,500-£5,000); and, for those with a smaller gift budget, a pretty Chanel five-strand choker necklace with pearl beads from circa 1985 (estimate: £400-£600).
An up-to-the-minute offering will be the Adidas shirt that Andy Murray wore when he won the U.S. Open earlier this year (estimate: £5,000-£8,000). If your husband is a tennis enthusiast, this is "the right present," says Ms. Taylor.
On Dec. 21, Artcurial in Paris will hold a 450-lot vintage sale with prêt-à-porter, haute couture, furs, bags and costume jewelry. "Just before Christmas is the right time," says Artcurial specialist Elisabeth Telliez.

Beginning construction of new U.S. homes increased in May and permits to build single-family houses rose to a five-year high, extending a rebound that is helping shore up the expansion.
Housing starts climbed 6.8%, less than forecast, to a 914,000 annualized rate after a revised 856,000 pace in April, the Commerce Department reported today in Washington. The median estimate of 82 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 950,000 rate. Applications to build one-family homes increased 1.3% to a 622,000 pace, the fastest since May 2008.
Building permits that exceed the level of starts indicate residential construction will keep rising as improving job opportunities and historically low mortgage rates lure buyers. The recovery in residential real estate that's spurred optimism among builders such as Hovnanian Enterprises Inc. shows how record monetary stimulus from Federal Reserve policy makers, who meet today and tomorrow, is bolstering economic growth.
"We'll continue to see starts increase through the remainder of this year and into the next," said Ryan Sweet, an economist at Moody's Analytics Inc. in West Chester, Pennsylvania, who projected 905,000 starts at an annual rate. "Permits are still slowly heading in the right direction."
Economists' estimates for starts in a Bloomberg survey ranged from an 875,000 pace to a 1.02 million rate after an initially reported 853,000 in April.
Stock-index futures held gains after the figures, with the contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index expiring in September rising 0.2% to 1,636.1 at 8:49 a.m. in New York.
Consumer Prices
Another report showed the cost of living in the U.S. rose less than forecast last month. The consumer-price index climbed 0.1% after falling 0.4% in April, the Labor Department said. The median forecast of economists called for a 0.2% gain.
Total building permits decreased 3.1% to a 974,000 million annualized rate in May, reflecting a 10% slump in applications for multifamily dwellings. Economists projected a 975,000 pace, according to the Bloomberg survey median.
Construction of single-family houses rose 0.3% to a 599,000 rate from 597,000 the prior month.

Justin Bieber under investigation by LAPD for alleged attempted robbery
Justin Bieber just can't stay out of trouble.
The Los Angeles Police Dept. said they are investigating the 20-year-old singer from Stratford, Ont. in connection with an alleged attempted robbery that took place in the San Fernando Valley.
The incident stems from a run-in Bieber had with a San Fernando Valley woman at the Sherman Oaks Castle Park, according to TMZ.
The woman, along with her 13-year-old daughter, saw Bieber and his entourage playing mini-golf and then got into an altercation with some of his crew after Bieber saw her trying to pull out her phone to take photos.
The woman told the gossip site she refused to give over her phone to Bieber. She then alleges he reached into her purse and grabbed it.
Bieber began to wrestle with the woman for the phone, at which point he ripped the phone out of her hands, and demanded she unlock the phone so he could delete the photos.
"You're humiliating yourself in front of your daughter" Bieber reportedly told the woman. "Why don't you just get out of here." he continued, making her daughter cry in the process.
Bieber hasn't been arrested, but has been accused of the attempted robbery by the woman, according to the LAPD.
The police went to the woman's house to take a report after she lodged a complaint on Tuesday, TMZ said.

The Office of Marketing and Communications is located on the second floor of Francis Hall on the East End of campus. During the academic year, our office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Summer hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

St. Bonaventure University hosted a Study of the U.S. Institute for Student Leaders after receiving a sub-grant from the U.S. Department of State through the Institute for Training and Development (ITD). The Study of the U.S. Institutes (SUSI) are designed and funded by the Study of the U.S. Branch in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA).
The purpose of the SUSI grant is to bring undergraduate student leaders from the Western Hemisphere to the United States to study U.S. culture, history, society, and government while enhancing their leadership skills.
After speaking with the students, it is easy to see that this goal was achieved. Perhaps what the ITD had not anticipated, however, was that the Americans interacting with these students would not only learn about Latin American culture, but their own culture as well.
Twenty SUSI students from Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela began to arrive at St. Bonaventure University on July 7. Although they became involved in the program in various ways – all of the participants had something in common: each student has exceptional academic standing and is considered a leader in their home and institution.
From the time they arrived until August 11, the students, with the guidance of St. Bonaventure student mentors, experienced campus life at a typical American university. Many of the students were surprised at the nature of the program. Romina from Ecuador said, "I didn't know that we were going to have this much fun. I just thought that we were going to study but not have fun." In addition to daily lectures and discussions, the group visited many locations such as Chautauqua Institute, Niagara Falls, Chicago, and Washington DC.
As intended, the students expanded their knowledge of American culture and several were surprised at what they found. Agustin from Venezuela said, "I was expecting, because of the opinions of my friends, that I was going to meet grouchy people [but] I met kind people so it pretty much felt like home." Several other students echoed the participant's sentiments. Multiple students felt that the program had delivered much more than they expected.
However, a good educator understands that his or her job is not only to teach but to learn from their students as well. Maddalena Marinari, the academic director of the institute, was very grateful for the chance to spend time with the students and learned more about her own culture in the process. "Because of the different cultural backgrounds of these students, they ask different questions, pay attention to different aspects of American history, and read the key documents of American history differently than my American-born students," said Marinari.
The students, too, gained a wealth of knowledge on American politics, history, culture, and what it truly means to be a leader. On her experience at the Pfeiffer Nature Center, Nicole from Ecuador said, "we were learning about leadership so we saw how leaders [are] the people working in non-profit organizations, like the Nature Center. It's a way to see what we learned in class really applied."
Overall, everyone involved got something out of the program that they did not expect. "As somebody interested in the role of the U.S. in the world," said Marinari, "it's been fascinating to discuss with them the relationship between the U.S. and their countries…. again and again they tell me that our institute has challenged many of the stereotypes they had about the United States, Americans, and American society before coming here."

LITTLE ROCK — Rep. David Meeks, R-Conway, was first in line Thursday as the heated fight for control of Arkansas' Legislature and congressional delegation formally kicked off with the start of the one-week filing period to run for office.
Candidates started making their bids official at the state Capitol shortly after Secretary of State Mark Martin whacked a gavel to kick things off.
Meeks, who's seeking a second term from District 46, was the first in line to have Martin stamp his paperwork after he said he passed up another Republican, Duane Neal, who hopes to become a state representative in northwest Arkansas.
"Going through the process before, I knew exactly what I needed to do and just happened to leapfrog him on that," Meeks said.
Most of the focus will be on the state's legislative and congressional races, with no major statewide races on the ballot this year. By the end of the first day, 197 people had filed to run for office.
All 135 House and Senate seats will be up this year after redistricting, as well as the four congressional seats. State Democratic Party Chairman Will Bond said he expected to increase Democrats' margins in the Legislature.
"The Arkansas Democrat brand is strong because of responsible leadership and a history of responsible leadership that I don't think people get reminded of enough," Bond said.
State Republican Party Chairman Doyle Webb said the party was poised to take control of the Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction.
"It won't be a slight majority," Webb said. "It won't just be 18 and 51. We'll have a greater majority in either house."
The boundaries of at least one legislative seat, however, may remain up in the air. State Sen. Jack Crumbly and state Rep. Keith Ingram on Thursday filed to run for the Democratic nomination for an east Arkansas Senate seat that is the subject of a lawsuit filed by Crumbly and other residents.
The lawsuit claims that the board in charge of legislative redistricting diluted the black vote in Crumbly's district. It is scheduled to go to trial in May.
Republican U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford was among the first to file Thursday as he faces a challenge from Democrats. State Rep. Clark Hall and Arkansas State University economist Gary Latanich are expected to file for the Democratic nomination for Crawford's east Arkansas seat.
Crawford said he's not worried about new congressional boundaries that add historically Democratic areas to his district.
"We've got to assume they're all tough and don't take anything for granted," he said.
State Sen. Gene Jeffress, who's seeking a congressional seat in south Arkansas, also was on hand to file. Jeffress is one of two Democrats who've announced they're running for the seat being vacated by Democratic Congressman Mike Ross. Three Republicans are expected to file for the seat, and Bond has said he expects at least one more Democrat to announce.
Jeffress, who hasn't reported raising any money for the seat, said he still expected to run a "viable" campaign.
"We are not going to be able to raise those millions of dollars," he said.
The start of the filing period also offered a glimpse of a presidential contest that has largely ignored Arkansas, which will hold its primary in May. The campaigns for Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum filed the paperwork on Thursday.
Santorum spokeswoman Alice Stewart, who used to work for Mike Huckabee and Arkansas Secretary of State Mark Martin, said it's possible all the candidates could come to Arkansas if the race stretches out.
Webb said he also expects GOP presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Ron Paul to file paperwork. GOP presidential hopefuls have to pay a $25,000 filing fee to the state party to appear on the ballot.

Gallery: The Ten Worst American Apparel Ads
Dov Charney, I don't even know what your ads are supposed to sell anymore. Body issues? Sexual Harassment? Tampon Tea? (Hah! That was for you, Uncle Terry). I do however, know that periodically I am walking through SoHo on Sunday mornings all sleepy with my coffee in hand and then, boom, pudenda meets leggings. I do not hate pudenda. I do not hate leggings. I do hate these ads because they seem unecessary and unartistic and exploitative (because the models don't get paid enough, not because they're always half naked) and they suck. They just suck. Below, basically the reasons I treat people who proudly report they are wearing American Apparel exactly the way I'd treat someone who proudly announced that they were wearing Nazi apparel.[ITPGallery]
