All I could think while reading the Herald article on the guy was that he probably pulled the wings off flies when he was a kid, too.

I want Rahm to go medieval on his ass.

We never get to hang out, Tep. Brutalizing an asshat might be just the thing.

That would be the best Girls' Weekend EVER.

There are women I know(besides me) that would want them to film that and show it every Christmas...uh, Chanukah, Barb.(That way we'd see it eight more times. Yay!) We were wondering how to get that option funded right? Four words: f--- pay-per-view. American Jewistas: Is there a Jewish custom analogous to the Christmas "brag letter"? It's a long story, but now I'm really curious(And, yes, that does relate to the Emanuels.)

Cool, Tep. Rahm might have more practice, but I could bring a rookie's passion, that sense of being in it for the love of the game absent from much professional asskicking today.

Kat, 57 kids?? WTF? Are you going to have to keep that many or are they going to change your classes *again*?

Well, twelve of those kids want to remain in AP, so they will most likely move to second period. I already have 38 in second period, so that would make second period 50 (not a problem, really because it will just be taught like a college class) and will make first period 45. But that won't happen this week I'm sure.

I'm just sort of done. But I'm also realizing that I have to stop talking about it.

Remember that painting of Jesus bringing the Constitution to America that I linked to the other day? You could mouse over the various people and learn interesting things. Anyway, here is a parody: [link]

The mouseover text is priceless....

wealthy self-entitled "adult" douchebag deliberately makes her feel like shit and makes her friend cry.

What's sad is that wealthy self-entitled douchebags, such as Andrew Carnegie, give money to libraries instead of telling little girls to suck it up.

The mouseover text is definitely worth checking out, on the 'parody' site. You might learn a thing or two.

Kat, I'm so sorry. How awful for you, how awful for your students.

American Jewistas: Is there a Jewish custom analogous to the Christmas "brag letter"? It's a long story, but now I'm really curious(And, yes, that does relate to the Emanuels.)

Not really. Some people send out that sort of letter with December holiday cards. I think that Rosh Hashanah cards have been around for longer than Chanukah cards (I've seen pictures of Rosh Hashanah cards from around 1900 or so), and writing in a few sentences about what everyone's up to is relatively common.

Awww....

A Difficult Goodbye

Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum was ordered to Iraq in July. His four-year-old daughter Paige had a hard time letting go, so much that she held onto his hand in formation. No one, including the commanding officer, had the heart to pull her away. The picture of the incident, taken by Paige’s mother, has gone viral and touched people all over the country.
