  • I can't really hip you to any blogs with a formula on what to see, but I can say that getting info out of people you know (in some capacity) is more helpful than trying to parse out if someone named "worldtravlr089" on some blog/forum is some midwes…
  • It is harder to remove bad teachers, than it is to identify excellent ones. This is an aside, but did anyone catch This American Life this past week? The piece about the "Rubber Room" of the New York School System was crazy. Teachers getting paid …

  • (Gesturing)"...That lassie got glassed and no cunt leaves here until we find out what cunt did it." - Robert Carlyle, Trainspotting. I like to use this one when someone suggests moving from one watering hole to the next. It's lost on most people.
  • I've also been wondering about that cursive W hat that Lil Wayne wears (used to wear?) that kids are buying up. I got no clue as to what team or area the W stands for. I strictly rock Twins fitteds with the exception of one from STA that was too b…
  • but why would you think anyone was hiring right now? I work in a demographics research center at a Big 10 university. I volunteer at a local non-profit helping refugees transition into our community. I can't really offer much, as we have a hiring…
  • I was just listening to some old tapes from the early 90's and for a moment I was convinced that the best 20+ seconds of music ever is the breakdown in Sly Stone's "Stand!" I wish that part went on for about 3 more minutes.
