a nice piece of trash to rest your weary head on
The pictures are depressing as hell. One source now says the body count is suspected to be in the tens of thousands. Our president is a self-absorbed shitbag. Our government is incapable/unwilling.
The good news is Maury lives on.
I caught a few minutes of Maury yesterday, and it had a nice, Vikadin effect. A fat white kid, clearly from the suburbs yet "urbanized" enough to be ghetto (his description), was waiting to find out if he was, in fact, his baby's daddy. He wanted the job. Bad. The mother was there, crying. She desperately wanted it to be true... I think... actually, I'm not sure. She just cried a lot. Maybe she was having her own moment. Maybe her appearance on Maury triggered a life crisis.
Anyway, the kid was so earnest about wanting to be babby daddy, he stood up and rapped a rap about children, and how much he loves them, how bad it hurt not knowing if he was the daddy, to which Maury responded, "Wow... I've never seen pain turned around like that, and put to music". (Apparently Maury is a cyborg who has never heard music).
Finally, after all the tension and tears, the stage hand (fresh from the doctor's office?) brought out the sealed envelop with the paternal test results.
And the results were good.
There was much hugging, crying, and later, when they arrived home a new family, rapping.
