The Useless Critic 2.0

Cara J. Suppa number of fcbk statuses about michael jackson's death: 49302050202104394092. number of fcbk statuses about ted kennedy's death (so far): 1. Uh huh... It's so weird to me he dies so shortly after his sister Eunice Shriver. ah man. RIP, regardless. The Kennedys, a dwindling clan. behold. I hate to say this, but until I watched CNN for like an hour this morning, I knew nothing about the man, really. except. um. certain things I don't want to repeat at this hour. He was in Erie a while ago campaigning for Obama, I didn't go see him though. Speaking of, Obama gave a nice speech about him not too long ago.

The US Senate just confirmed "Sexy" Sonia Sotomayor (do you see what I did there?) for the Supreme Court of the United States. She's the first justice of Hispanic descent, and the third female justice, to receive a place in the court. I, for one, am ecstatic. She has more experience than you can shake a stick at, and she's got an inspirational background to boot. Congratulations, Justice Sotomayor! Don't fuck up. (Here's a personal opinion: I think this nonsense over her "wise Latina" comment is just that - nonsense. If you're a Latina with the background and experiences she has, you SHOULD be capable of making better decisions than a comparatively sheltered white man. Not worth making a fuss about.)
