Everybody agrees that US public schools are completely fucked, but nobody seems to know what to do about it.  Here’s an idea - copy everything about Finland’s system.  Their kids rank miles above ours in every metric, and they spend less money per student to accomplish it.

As the guy who always has to fix your computer, I can attest that every single word of this is true.

I couldn’t understand how 4800 Iowans could have possibly voted for Michele Bachmann in the recent straw poll.  How could someone so patently insane convince so many people to vote for her?

Then I saw this .  Compelling, isn’t it?

Jersey shore to sue for patent infringement.

Dylan Ratigan is mad as hell, and he’s not going to take it any more.  In a Network-style on-air tirade, the MSNBC commentator let fly with the honest truth about why our political system is so thoroughly fucked.  He is furious - and rightfully so - that both congress and the president refuse to make necessary and meaningful changes to the tax and regulatory systems that have allowed banks and big businesses to ruin our economy.  He rails about how congressmen on both sides of the isle are bought and paid for and will never turn on the abusive corporate interests that pay them so well, as well as a weak president who is more concerned with compromise than with doing the right thing.

And you know what?  Everything he says is absolutely true.

If Game of Thrones was a 16-bit RPG.  Dead-on-balls accurate (it’s a technical term).

ISPs would be crippled by the requirement to store every click you make for up to 18 months. Your activities can be examined by any branch of government for any reason - no warrant required. The claimed intent is to stop child pornography, which it won’t.  Spying on 700 million Americans to ineffectively combat a couple hundred pervs is a disgusting abuse of power and horrendous waste of resources. Be sure to contact your representatives and tell them to kill this bill.

At least with zombies, nobody gets all bent out of shape when you cave their head in with a shovel.  Do it to a baby and suddenly you’re the monster.

The first ever Cuban zombie film:  Juan of the Dead.  I love everything about this.
