Students don’t feel as if they’re all in “it” together with the billionare bankers across the other side of the city.

Whenever people use the phrase, “We’re all in this together”, there tends to be a huge dose of irony.

George’s grandfather Henry, obsessed with the outcome of the 2000 election, has planted a giant billboard of homage to Al Gore in his front yard that he suspects has been defaced by the paperboy, now a sworn enemy.
