As it should be. I don't mean for this to be a knock on Christians. The Pujols' do wonderful things with their charity. If you want to bring God into the equation, then say how much he's blessed you with this offer from the Angels to do more with the Pujols Foundation. Don't give us this BS about being mad at him, as if you are suffering because the Cardinals only offered you $130 MILLLION dollars.

Only $26 mil a year, how dare God allow that to happen to them, I wish God hated me that much.

Folding fitted sheets is truly the greatest first world problem of our time. So annoying.

I thought about firing off a strongly worded email to the dsl provider, but the voice recognition technology on my phone wasn't working well.
