I remember once while I was in college, a few women had been raped (I think -- there had been some crime commited, and I think that was it), and the best description they had of the suspect was "youngish black man." The Jefferson Parish sherriff announced that police would be stopping any young black man they saw driving through Jefferson Parish, since they needed to find the rapist, and there wasn't any reason that black men should be driving in Jefferson Parish, anyway. (I may have some of these details wrong. It was a while ago.)
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One of the reasons that people couldn't LEAVE the Superdome was that the undrowned city across the nearby bridge set up a police barricade and swore they'd shoot anybody who tried to WALK out over that route.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Humanity...beasts with too much brains and too little heart.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Ah, the innate goodness of humans. Warms my heart.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I heard something on the news that the public housing in NO is pretty much all right ... but they won't let people move back in.

That's bizarre. They'll let NEW low-income people move in, but they won't let the people who used to live there come back? I can't fathom the rationale.

Dear Douchebags,
Why must you always have meetings in the lunch room rather than one of the million empty conference rooms at least three times a week? I just want to heat up my breakfast, bitches. Don't you people have actual jobs to do?
Crankily yours,

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I totally saw Jesse on the train this morning, and ignored her, because I didn't want to get all up in her work friend business. I hope this doesn't make me a bad person.
