Know what’s fucked up? Next fall’s incoming freshmen will barely remember the ’90′s, let alone the ’80′s.

General Strike of the Unemployed
For years, after I had a few beers, I’d start rambling about how May Day needed a revival in the United States to anyone who’d listen. Of course, I am all talk and no action. I’m hoping Occupy Wall Street is organized enough to revive the day and itself, but we’ll see.

Chat Show with Justice Thomas
During this week’s health care arguments, all of the justices except silent Thomas made an excellent case for single payer health care. With any luck, Ginny Thomas will read this and leave me a dumb voicemail.

Mitt Romney’s Southern Pander-ama
Mitt trying to act “Southern” was about as natural as me wearing a suit. Although I can pull off the latter, if I look up how to tie a tie on my phone.

Journal of Fake Epidemiology
This comic contains a Breaking Bad spoiler from the most recent season, so if you’re not caught-up, you might want to wait this one out.
