Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hee. Thanks. I feel like I've accomplished something.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I hope it's soon announced that Kanye is entering rehab

I can't think of any other explanation. I mean, if he'd said it after the ceremony, he'd at least be following a long tradition of either sore loserhood or coming to the defense of your friends or both, depending on whether you think it's a good idea to say such things. But jumping on stage during the winner's acceptance speech? Not even if Mrs. Miller had won a Grammy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There's asshole rehab?

Actually, someone could make a MINT if they founded an asshole rehab.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Actually, someone could make a MINT if they founded an asshole rehab.

(sigh) And they'd be getting some money from me. No matter how hard I try, I fall off the nice-person wagon, someone gets the backside of my hand (verbally), and then I spend weeks attempting to recover from being a jackass.

It's my version of the vodka bottle most of my family has crawled in to.

Always Anti-fascist!

Maybe we could take "smoke breaks" together while I'm in Snarky Bitch rehab, SH.

“Not dead yet!”

Maybe we could take "smoke breaks" together while I'm in Snarky Bitch rehab, SH.

Now, why on earth would you need rehab for that?

Signed,

Fellow Snarky Bitch.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That would probably require asshole interventions of some kind.

Since the first step would be admitting to being an asshole, I fear there wouldn't be much in the way of voluntary rehab as asshole's often seem to be clueless about their own assholedom.

Some people need a verbal backhanding. People dealing out the deserved treatement are performing a public service, not being assholes.

Also, I see a huge margin of difference between jackassery and assholedom, but that may just be me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If I met with an HR person for five minutes during an interview, a short thank you e-mail is appropriate, right?
