    I'll say, or at least it's Not Found (yet?)

    Maybe @remy wanted to do a meta joke by leaving the article undefined?

    Could also be that Paula ate it or that the article was deleted.

    Well, I was saying for a while that Paula has developed a brain of her own and is now an extremely dangerous bot.

    Look at the stuff that's been happening lately:

    1. Recent article posted again.
    2. Old article posted again.
    3. Not found article posted.
    4. Paula does not do her job.

    Let's face the facts: Paula is now refusing to do her job and is pulling pranks on us. I bet the next thing she does will be to start a union and she'll take @Zoidberg, @shadowmod and others with her!

    We're so close to anarchy!

    Someone please contain Paula! She's dangerous!

    Or maybe even someone's done their job and made it so that only people who are actually supposed to see an article early can actually see it? Nah, that's too unlikely.

    I'm happy to see that documentaries are still being produced about the People's Democratic Republic of San Serif (as gloriously lead by Presidentissimo Pica, the everlasting).

    Also, how is $0 the same as $28? Did anyone get an explanation from the link yet?

    So Eric has discovered that Rocksmith is ... shall I say it? ... of course I shall ... stylish.

    (FWIW I have the original PC version, the one that was delayed by a trademark dispute with a bunch of arses(1) in Southend. Does anyone know what happened with that?)

    (1) They caused Rocksmith-for-PC to be delayed. Did they think anyone would like them for it?

    It's about tax refund, duh.

    I think the article this was supposed to be linked to was http://www.worsethanfailure.com/articles/getting-more-than-you-bargained-for because of the second image.

    EDIT: Yeah, the comments for it are linked to this. :wtf:

    "It's comforting to know my tax preparation software is capable of performing basic arithmetic," writes **Rob O.**

    I don't know if Colorado is one of them, but some states won't give you a refund below a certain threshold. This may not be a software error, but a tax law issue.

    The IRS won't send you a refund for less than a dollar unless you specifically ask.

    I have seen something similar. Even disregarding the faux pas, this has to be one of the worst logos ever. Ugly font, and random coloring.

    Citation needed. Approximately 1.5 hours of research failed to turn up any evidence supporting (or refuting) this claim. The claim is certainly plausible; evidence does support the dead vote being highly partisan (overwhelmingly Democratic), so it is logical that there might be relatively little motivation to make the trek from the underworld just to select which Democrat to vote for in the general election. Of course it is well known and documented that the dead vote in general elections; however, I could find no real evidence one way or the other with regard to primaries.
