Harvard, the nation’s insufferable institution of higher learnin’ attended by the nation’s most insufferable kids from its most insufferable families, will offer a course on HBO’s The Wire, the best TV show ever made, so as to better educate their pampered student body about life in the ghetto.

Whatup, Caj.
I followed you over here from Gawker (after following you there from CBITC), and LOVE your style and writing. I swear that I noticed the change in your 'tone' – and not necessarily for the better – over at Gawker. Considering that it seemed to me your style was getting neutered to begin with, it pissed me off to no end to read about how things went down over there.
So enough with that nonsense – I'm sure you are WAY over it. I just had to get that off my chest, and this is the last I say about it: That Gabriel dude can eat one 'till he hiccups – 'tone' my ass.
