I showed my sixth graders the original ACA segment on Casey a few weeks ago, and we had a great discussion about whether or not Casey's actions were justified. (Right now, we're reading "Warriors Don't Cry," a book about the Little Rock Nine and their quest to integrate Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, A.R. in 1957.) Needless to say, I had to share this video with them, too. Although there was some squealing, they were all unimpressed with Mr. Bieber's lack of eloquence.
I'm a middle school teacher who goes into work in half an hour. My day will only get worse from here!
"Drowning Mona," of course! ;-)
Not only is this car fun, fit, and classy, but it's also bulging, an important component of any Craigslist "encounter."
Maureen Dowd impersonators have really let themselves go.
Oh, you wanted BEST looking?
So I came up with a savings plan for Armageddon. You can read about it here:

We might as well make the most of it!
@Mean_Ol_Liberal: Ouch. OUCH. But still. I really need to accelerate my plan to marry a rich widow before these property values start going up again!
It doesn't look like these murders have affected property values in Celebration:

As a New Englander, these prices are actually quite obscene. I wish I could find a place like this for $189,900!

@Sporkotica: I'd agree with that. When I got my new A4 last winter, I took it to the empty helipad at the local beach on the night of the first snow. I threw it around in circles -- or I tried to, at least -- to see how it would respond. (As it was my first all-wheel-drive car, I wasn't sure.) Not only did I have fun, but I was able to remind myself of the importance of maintaining control over my own car...especially when other drivers cannot.
@Daddy Rocket will get the hell out of some groceries: I loved my '07 GTI and was looking at a new one last weekend while car shopping with my aunt (who bought an '11 Jetta SEL Sport Edition, a surprisingly nice car—even with the leatherette!)

The new GTI is attractive, but I was struck by how big the doors are. And, of course, any two-door car with oversized doors always me think of this beast. Now that's a 10Best!
I'm so sorry. This is bad, bad news.
My first thought when looking at that picture was, "What is Michael Penn doing hanging around with Anna Nicole Smith? Did he dump Aimee Mann?"

Sorry, Michael.
@loquaciousmusic: It's worth your time to head over to The New Yorker and read their profile of Nick Denton. It'll explain a lot.
