My Neighborhood
Dorchester has a reputation for being a rough neighborhood. Personally, aside from a few blocks, I feel that it is a safe place; full of character and characters. Sometimes you need to blame the "victim" and not the criminal.
Here is an actual headline:
"Victim says 10-year-old with a knife robbed him"
Seriously? You can't stop a ten year old punk from robbing you? Take the knife. Push the li'l punk to the ground.
Nope.
The guy was completely helpless.
How could he possibly overpower the intimidating and threatening fourth or fifth grader?
Scary, right?

UPDATE: If this is the best the government can do to share the wealth, this kid has nothing to worry about.

one of my crazies
poobah, remember when we were on the phone the other night and i was interrupted by a 50-year-old autistic man asking for free stuff?
this is him. david's the name. he comes in and asks for free cupcakes or brownies or cookies and then he falls asleep on the table, like so:
tonight is almost unbearable. i wish i could snooze like david.
here's a blog post our friend wally wrote about david and an interaction my homie jeff had with him. i don't like "penny farthing" so ignore the niceties he spews.

Is Our Children Learning?
Times are hard. Money is tight. All of the economies are exploding, or something. I don't know... I don't pay attention to what I like to call "the boring news." I get all I need to know from Access Hollywood.
Anywho, Boston is having trouble with their budget and has proposed cutting about 900 jobs in local schools. As you may expect, some people aren't too happy about that. A few of those people got together to shake their impotent, balled fists of rage and chant slogans. (Take that, fat cats!)
But I think that the best argument was made with this sign:
Is that an argument for or against cutting the budget? That is all in the eye of the beholder.

Presidential Potty Mouth
This is all over the internets at the moment, but in case you missed it, there are some entertaining excerpts from President Obama's audiobook recording of Dreams for My Father.
You may now update your ringtones.

I Am Not Here
Once again, the internets have proven that I don't exist.
And all of this time I have been complaining about the self-absorbed sphincters at work going about their lives as if I were a figment of my own imagination.
They were right.
