Dragged here
1. Here come the Hawks
QOTD
I got dragged here by the Blackhawks spam I received. You're invited to go here (https://teamexchange.ticketmaster.com/html/eventlist.htmI?l=EN&team=blackhawks) and snarf some Hawk tickets from season ticket holders. OK, I'll bite. Check this out:
I'll joined the unwashed at the Wolves games, thank you. I think I spent $35 a pop for Ty and I to sit on the ice at a playoff game last year.
2. School choice
Did you know that Pres Obama attended Catholic school? Me, neither. Here's a good article making the case for Catholic schools as an school choice:
For my money, we have but one hurdle to achieve a real and true equality in America: school choice. If you gave (mostly minority) parents the $12K/year that is spent on the Chicago public schools to spend wherever they choose, then you'd see the inner city change in a generation, or less.
Don't believe me? Go to the south side and you see every flavor of preschool and day care under the sun. They're flippin everywhere. Why? It's because there is no public preschool that parents are forced to use. They shop around for the best deal they can find and go with it. Elementary school and beyond should be the same way. Compete or die!
3. Viewer mail
I have already received so many emails from blog-readers this 2009 calling me either a snob or a faker because of my recent TV-bashing and symphony prattling. To appease such criticism, I humbly present two stupid pleasures:

- They had that talking ETrade baby during the previews before the movie last night. I guess I was the only one who laughed out loud (too loud). It was, um, awkward. Shit, I could watch that baby spit up or use his crackberry over and over.
- If I'm surfing past Desperate Housewives of Orange County, I usually get snagged, at least for a little bit. The sad, repellant people on the show are a car wreck embodied. I've never seen an acting performance the radiated self-absorption, arrogance and stupidity as the real people on this show. The acting profession blow, but don't get me going on that.
