my mom fought several local administrations, school boards and 1970's perceived wisdom to give my special needs brother the best schooling and up-bringing available.

as far as I know, she never put up a facebook post about it.

I did it with the TimeTravel iPod app. I'd hoped to steer the thread toward porn rather than scifi, but somehow misjudged the Wonkette mentality.

What is hilarious or sad is that if you get that big --like that Simpson's episode -- you can start collecting SSD payments right away. We had a guy on the 15th floor in my old apartment complex that had to have 4 EMTs move him from his couch when he had a heart attack. Funny thing is, I moved in 3 years before and actually knew the guy when he was thin, he at some point started getting SSD and stopped going out.

I want to be able to vote an incumbent WaPo columnist out of office instead. Hey Jeff Probst -- can we have an elimination challenge with columnists standing one-legged on a bamboo post or something? Krauthammer could just eat worms and fetal duck eggs, go wheelchair rappelling, then explain why the Americans with Disabilities Act is neither socialist nor another example of big-government overreaching. Without vomiting up his elimination challenge.

About 40 years ago, I saw a Hustler magazine, and found most of the pictorials un-arousing and most of the cartoons unfunny. But one made me laugh out loud. Superman is zipping up in a men's room and walking away from a urinal that is broken to pieces. Lois would have reason to want SM not to come.
