It seems that I can watch episodes 7 thru 12 (or 11, or something) of 30 Rock online. Do you all recommend?

Yes. It is currently my favorite show.

How illiterate do you have to be to have a big file (notebook) labeled "2005 Chron" filled with letters filed alphabetically by last name of recipient?

Liz: [to Cerie] So, these pages number, when done correctly, should be sequential.

if the reason is that some of what he produced was a little confused, maybe you should keep the resume up to date?

THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE ORIGINAL POST!!!!!

OK, no more clicking for me.

That clicking thing will get you into trouble in more ways than one. Let me tell you.

And maybe Chron, where you work, means filed by year, and the guy in charge was super anal compulsive and organized them by name also. Or not.

• The Steward was one of those peculiar archetypes of American apartheid – along with the Porter and the Maid. Unlike the domestic servant, though, he contained no sass. Think Uncle Ben: big toothy smile, yassir. Domestic servants, however, were allowed a great deal of sass – listen to the old Great Gildersleeve shows, and you get a perfect picture of the popular idea of this idealized relationship. Gildy is henpecked and outdone by all his domestic associates, but the only person who comes across with any degree of pride or level-headedness is Birdie, the servant, and Gildy’s relationship to her is one of kindness and deference. You could say that’s easy: she didn’t count, so it was easy to be nice to her. But that’s wrong. There was a fundamental decency and mutual affection in their relationship. Yes, yes, idealized depiction of inherent inequalities, etc. As the argument no doubt goes, the shows perpetuated inequality by pretending they really didn’t exist. But it’s instructive to note what the popular culture held out as the ideal. Equality, not subjegation. Birdie was fully integrated into the family, and shared the same values. Nowadays I suspect a sitcom with a Black servant in a middle-class family would milk the clash of cultures, not the similarities. Wanda Sykes would star.

That would be James Lileks. More.

Did you hear about the Texas MLK party? NWTF. how fucked up can be people be to plan such a thing. And how can several people dress up and apparently walk outside to the party. Worse, how can they be so brazen as to post this crap on Facebook.

Facebook basically links you to other people in your school- so all of the black kids at this school were openly exposed to the pictures by these fucks.

Heh.

"Toys, if they're too big and ineptly employed, can hurt. Fingers, with their bony knuckles and sharp nails, can hurt. Fucking can hurt. But eating ass never hurt anyone. I mean, tongues and sparkling-clean buttholes go together like rama-lama-lama-ke-ding-a-de-dinga-dong."
