Mint.com

There's a story about an ancient general who sent took his troops to a local manor for a feast as a reward for hard work. The general and his troops expected a delicious meal and some evening entertainment, but during the meal, their enemies surrounded the place, locked the doors, and burned it to the ground.

Few things worry people more than giving their financial information away to a free service website. Mint.com asks you to do exactly that. This might seem like offering your hand to a wolverine, but I assure you, it won't get bitten off.

Mint.com has wonderful encryption, brilliant web design, and plentiful features. They make money off of referrals to other websites, and you get an all in one stop for your financial situation at no charge.

I've used Mint.com for a few years now. It's simple to use and I wholeheartedly recommend it to my friends.

Mint.com get's a nice fat

At Obama's first inaugural ball, he held a Warm'n'Fresh Donut aloft and toasted his staff.

Winchell's deserves a solid

In honor of this man here, I hereby give "Walking Man I" a nice round
