Flippy - I Rant, You Read

My Writing Skills Are Rusty.  My Reading Skills Are Not.

Here, go read this website.  I promise you will enjoy it.  It’s short.  It’s creative.  It’ll make you want to buy Miranda July’s book.  Promise.  I haven’t read it yet, but I will.  Soon.  I wish we had a library nearby.  But no, our lovely citizens voted against putting a grand library in our amazing new, biggest of the city, bitchin’ new park.  However, a couple of years later, the illiterates were overruled by the teeming masses - the city government.  Thankfully.  Phew.  Duh, what morons vote against a library?  Anyway, it won’t be done for years and years.  Heck, our part of town doesn’t even have a bookstore.  Was there a vote on bookstores too, and no one told me?  The world would be a better place if more people spent some time alone, reading.  Thinking.  Books are good.  Television is good, but books are quiet and peaceful good.  Solitary, but with someone else good.  Reading is FUN-da-mental.  RIF.org - they still exist, even though I’m not sure anyone remembers “Reading is fundamental”, except for people over 40.

Idiot of the Day - Isaiah Washington

Damn, the man just can’t keep his stupid mouth shut.  The dope has opened up his trap to Newsweek now.  Now, now he was fired for being a big black man.  No, I’m serious, he’s blaming his firing on being black.  Not on getting in a fight at work, not on calling a co-worker a “faggot”, not on being unpleasant to be around.  No, it’s all because he’s black.  Oddly enough, he was black when he was hired.
