We are guilty. We admit it, we were the ones that balled up the piece of bread and stuffed it behind the piano until it grew mold and started attracting rats. The key marks on your new car? That was us. The body on the side of the mountain, only identifiable by dental records. Blame us. Graffiti in the bathroom, millions of dollars "lost" in Iraq, bad daughters who don't call their mothers. Guilty as charged.We are accountable for all sins, small and large. Join us Sunday, April 24th to gawk at our burdened consciences.
