Random news distractions

Something he’s never seen before … Today the National Archives reopened and the Redneck Across Town was there to celebrate the rededication of the Constitution. William Rehnquist was there, too, hailing its creation of an independent judiciary - one free to decide presidential elections for the ignorant masses. I’m glad the Archives are complete again and the Constitution is back on display. But I do want a constitutional expert to go in a study that document line by line … just to make sure nobody changed anything.

Yet another reason why Japan rules.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for Metro. I swear to God, any excuse to not be open and work they jump at. They made me want to buy guns during the snowstorm. They want more fare increases even though they can’t figure out basic ideas such as customer service (sorry I have to interrupt your personal calls, Metro Person, when I have trouble with your crappy-ass Smartrip card at the gate) and no escalator goes more than one month without breaking down. I love waiting 20 minutes for a train in the evening. I love having to rush out of concerts because our subway system doesn’t operate like it’s in a city with nightlife.
