a word i don't often use

asshat: that's a word that i rarely find use for in conversation or writing.

What i really don't understand is how a clown like this could get more airtime than, say, Libya.  Maybe that's an overstatement.

I suppose that doesn't quite count as citizens arrest. Vigilante justice, maybe. Whack, whack! In less aggravating news, tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. Finally.
