To mess with people, I decided I would come up with a crappy design for my site and put it up as an April Fools joke. Here is the supposed “Website 15.0!!!” that went up on that day. Made in 2004.
GMU: Money Where Your Mouth Is?
Take a look at RobLINK.com to see why tuition at George Mason University is so high.
Salaries paid to university employees are a matter of public record, and therefore a simple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request gets all sorts of data about who gets paid what. The people running that site do that every semester and post it for all to see.
Presidential Candidates Exploit Important Issues, Says Group
Candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties are treading into off-limits territory, according to an independent electoral watchdog group.

With Liberty and Justice For All
What we know today as the Pledge of Allegiance was originally written in 1892 by Rev. Francis Bellamy. That’s right, that’s a Reverend in front of his name. Bellamy was a Baptist minister who wanted to come up with a pledge that could be recited by American school children on the quadricentennial celebration of Columbus Day.
The original text read as follows:
I pledge allegiance to my Flag, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
