I’ve been thinking about getting a Kindle. Anyone out there have an opinion? I read Pride and Prejudice on my iPhone but I had to turn the pages WAY to often. Heh.

A Black guy, and Indian guy, and a MILFy wolf huntress?

The new Republican Party: A Black guy, an Indian guy, and a MILFy wolf huntress. They’re like the Mod Squad but their enemies are taxes and gays.

Dang, that Wyatt Cenac is a cutie patootie.

Recession be damned; a woman needs her pretty

So a teacher friend of mine found a little treasure the other day while perusing Thrift Town. Aren’t they adorable? And a steal at only $3.99!

According to their website, Thrift Town is a “for-profit business that buys ALL of its merchandise from several nonprofit organizations. The money they raise from selling us “recycled goods” enables them to provide much needed programs and services to people in need.” So somebody donates to the ARC of Utah, for example, and Thrift Town buys merchandise from them and sells it back to you. Everybody wins!

Did you just say “SHUT UP!”?

And then, this—

“Every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country. And this country needs and values the talents of every American.”

Sigh. Pure afterglow.
