The stuff that happened and happening in Hebron this week made me so sad and angry, and a little bit scared.
Also, since I served in the IDF between 2004-2006, and trained with the forces to evacuate Gaza Strip settlements in the summer of 2005, it's very weird to see forces with weapons and different evacuation technique (not that I believe in those settlements or their so called "right" to be there, but that's another issue. With all of my lefty political opinions, it is very hard, emotionally, to evacuate people from the ground they consider as home).

I would have included Bishop's Castle in Rye, Colorado: [link]
I love Daniel O'Brien lots.
The X Most Blankiest Somethings in the History of Whatever
So, instead of a) making a bunch of one- or two-itemed lists or b)abandoning the ideas altogether, I’ve decided to just throw them into one stupid article that, (due to its total lack of focus and consistency) not one person will fully enjoy. Call it Early Spring Cleaning, or poorly-conceived, or just general laziness. Whatever. I call it a half-formed excuse to talk about Super President.
SANDWICH ANNOUNCEMENT:
The Pret Holiday Lunch sandwich is back. And it is DELICIOUS.

The Pret Holiday Lunch sandwich is back. And it is DELICIOUS.
What is it made out of aside from deliciousness?
What is it made out of aside from deliciousness?
Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, baby spinach. Basically Thanksgiving leftovers. It sounds enormous, but everything is spread in very thin and well-balanced layers. Nom nom nom.
Super President was a short-lived cartoon in the late 60's about a US President who has a secret double life as Super President. His superpower is the ability to change his molecular structure and he flies off at night to fight terrorists. It's brilliant in its awfulness.
The article has a link to a clip from Super President -- I can't watch because I'm at work, but I definitely plan to check it out immediately on getting home. I liked his observation that if you're calling yourself "Super President" maybe there's no point in bothering to wear a mask.
your prof for Mythological Origins of Art can't comprehend shades of grey/layers? Why the fuck is he teaching it? Origins of art are rarely clear-cut.
You know I think every school has one or two WTF were they thinking teaching assignments. Where I went to college, they had a teacher with absolutely no sense of humor teaching the "Humor in History" class. This was a guy who found Shakespeare's jokes too crude. He made us all pick a shape - triangle, circle or rectangle. He told us picking a triangle was a sign of being a nonconformist, picking a circle was a sign of creativity, and picking a rectangle was a sign of being a hard worker and rule follower. He showed us a medallion his girlfriend made for him which was an oval with pointy ends because he was a "creative rebel". One of the girls in the class who was usually pretty quiet popped out "maybe that symbol just means you're a c*nt".
