I hate charter schools

It's not fixing the problem, and I think they're a perfectly terrible idea. I can't believe my tax money goes to support them.

The solution is to fix the public school system. I know that's not a simple task, but it's the truth.

Hooray, we're stupid looking!

I swear, what the hell is wrong with these two? Please notice the other upsetting things in this photo that the ladies at gofugyourself were probably too traumatized to even notice - the stupid Louis Vuitton-esque fanny-pack looking thing hanging off Kanye's waist and Tom Cruise's hideous cream-colored 80's-stylin' jacket. FUGLY.

Um, the cover says: "One of the smartest, funniest romantic comedies in a long time." OK, replace "smartest" with "saddest", "funniest" with "most upsetting" and "comedy" with "drama" and I agree.

Check out Rotten Tomatoes for a collection of reviews. Overall it comes out positively, but as many people point out, this is not a comedy and also not particularly romantic.

Long overdue mention

Did I ever tell you kids about how AJWP, Hashbrown and I went to the unveiling of some new statues in Boston several years ago and one of the Boston society types there who helped in the ceremony or whatever was a woman named SMOKI BACON?

I kid you not. There is a rich-ass woman in this city proudly walking around calling herself SMOKI BACON. Hey, she seemed like a very nice lady. But HER NAME IS SMOKI BACON.

That's all.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
