Us, too, and all her dumps got a chance to get cleaned up.We stopped by the place and tried to talk to the guy who moved in with his wife and kid, but he got nasty. I have no idea what he was told about us, but I bet she had some tale to keep him from talking to us.

You should have seen one of my walls in government housing. Grey water from the tenant above me was leaking into the brick. It looked like modern art with a range of mould that would make a microbiologist excited. Lived in it for four months.

Ivanka certainly is daddy's girl. It must have been difficult trying to find someone as incompetent, morally bankrupt and depraved as her father. And here was I thinking she married "up". To think they actually identified themselves as democrats?

I can already see Satan clearing out a special place just for Jared.

Whatever that dress is made of, it probably costs more than she pays all her employees combined in a year.

You are a GREAT writer and my hero! I have lived this life, too. There are lots of us. Need I say it? OK. I will. PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!

I had mistakenly read somewhere that Jared and Ivanka are orthodox Jews. I knew that it couldn't be true because the orthodox Jewish women cover themselves up, while Ivanka acts the babe.

Whatever the case, it's clear that both she and Jared have ice water running through their veins.

As one secular Jew to another, I would say that being a good, moral person is common sense, and we know to do that without religion telling us so.

If anything, irreligion begets morality. Notice the lack of violence in irreligious countries, and contrast that with the wars in holier-than-thou ones.

Jared is more analogous to Mr. Burns

I spent a huge part of my early childhood doing chores at my parents' starter home - no bigly - just mowing the lawn & shit at my first backyard. I think I was about 10 when the upper tenants (old house turned duplex) let the shower drain clog and overflow until the downstairs called about a rainy kitchen ceiling. Folks upstairs seriously complained that my dad wasn't on top of all the hair they tried to wash down the drain. End result was everybody move out so we can fix this and sell. I've had many truly awful landlords and some really good ones since; can honestly say that a slumlord isn't defined in black and white, but you can smell them from a mile away.

"Who will collect my rent payment?" Nobody ever answered with, "Oh well, we only have one rent collection guy". Ever.

Speaking as someone who is also an ex landlord and an ex tenant, I can say that as long as both groups are drawn from the wider pool of human beings there will be plenty of assholes on both sides.

The trick is to balance the laws so that neither is overly favoured. Ha! Ha! As long as government is full of landlords, good luck with that. Much as landlords love to whine.

ah awesome! I think out of all the book-related stuff I do the college classes are my favorite. I never can get over the irony of being a uni lecturer now when I couldn't have bought my way into a shitty undergrad a couple years ago. Makes me giggle every time!
