Win a Kindle and $125 Amazon Bucks! We're thinking it might be the perfect time to take some of the advice in Liberty's Election Survival Guide series, pick up some new news sources and reading material — the candidates' books, perhaps? I'm currently reading Sarah Vowell's newest, The Wordy Shipmates about the Puritans and loving it. Wouldn't a snazzy new Kindle and some Amazon Bucks be the perfect antidote to jazz up your own reading for the end of the election? Enter our giveaway, and you could win!

Enter to Win One of Five DVD Copies of "Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?"!

CitizenSugar — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:00:51 -0700

Our friends at The Weinstein Company and Genius Products gave us five copies of Morgan Spurlock's film Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? to share with you readers.

Ever since I saw Super Size Me alone in the middle of the afternoon eating a McDonald's salad I sneaked in (I think that's what they call irony? Or close anyway . . .), I've been obsessed with Morgan Spurlock and his freakishly accessible yet pointed style of documentary. The man can do no wrong. I'm just as big a fan of this doc for its added bonus: getting to see the real people that live in the countries we read about all the time. Whether he found Osama or not, the film humanizes the far-off region in a way that makes the movie. I want you to own it!

Gas, Gas, Gas! Common Pump Glitch Means You Pay More!

CitizenSugar — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 12:00:26 -0700

Have you noticed sometimes you hit the gas station and you get a pump that sort of stalls for a second when the lever is squeezed? But the money meter starts right away — anywhere from 2 to 6 cents rack up before the gasoline starts gushing. Apparently it's a common, though hard to diagnose and often ignored problem with the "check valve." That's the gizmo that's supposed to make sure gas flows at the same time you start paying.

But even if your gas pump is in full working order, it's allowed to be off as much as $5 for every fill up. Local regulators who test the equipment allow a pump to charge as much as 6 cents more than the gas delivered in a five-gallon test. Regulators try to check out the equipment every six months but some cash-strapped counties don't even meet the one-year requirement in states like New York. The moral of the story? Stay vigilant and keep your eye on that meter.

Wish someone would just give you free money for gas? Wish there was an easy and fun contest that would enter you to win $500 of fuel? Wish you could enter the CitizenSugar Gas Giveaway right now?
