Sean Tevis Takes On Intelligent Designer with Some Intelligent Design of His Own...
Sean Tevis is running for State Representative in Kansas, against an opponent he describes as a proponent of intelligent design. Short on name recognition (and campaign funds) he took it upon himself to use his skills as an information designer to connect to his "constituents" - could he be the first true candidate for a generation that grew up on the Internet? Very clever

What is the best way to air out a basement? The house I am renting, the landlord smoked in the basement and the smell is driving me crazy. There are no windows in the basement and I can't paint the walls or ceiling without violating my lease. There is carpet in the basement too which might be holding in some of the odor.

Where is the best (safe, short-term) place to invest money (over 200K) from the sale of our home until we purchase another one. Please don't make me learn a LOT about markets, etc. I'm packing and moving to a new area and already stressed. ; )

I work in a small media company, and one of my coworkers came to me to edit a piece of work she had worked on. Long story short, it's completely plagiarized off a (fairly well known) website. Should I report it to her boss?

I haven't filed last year's taxes yet because I'd been told Uncle Sam didn't mind you filing late, if he owed you (I'm due a tax return, rather than owing taxes). Now, I want to file an extension on this year's taxes, without having sent in last year's. Will doing this trigger the IRS to send thugs to my house?

Complicated, messy NYC roommate/landlord question: 4 roommates share a 3 bedroom converted into 4 (with permission). One roommate signed a lease for a new building without getting permission from current building to transfer name on lease to new roommate. Said old roommate now refuses to pay six months of rent (remainder of lease). Much, much more inside.

What should I do about a (possible) problem renter who isn't paying on time and putting off late fees he owes me?
I'm renting out my condo and have been have been having a problem with getting the renter to pay on time. (This is the first time I've rented out to him the place.) He's always paid the rent portion in full, but he owes me $150 in late fees and has put it off, I want to snuff this out quickly and not make this a chronic problem. I moved out state about a month ago but explained to the renter that the check had to be postmarked on the first of every month to be mailed to me. I still have a bunch of local friends acting as 'property managers' who can go and break kneecaps if necessary.
