TIMES ARE TOUGH, AND ALL THAT STUFF, BUT...
...Can any of you out there help my kid find a job? Brendan's in a work/study program -- i.e. he works, he sends in his pay stub and he gets school credit. Thing is, he needs at least 20 hours a week and where he's at now he's not getting anywhere near that.
Currently he works at a Wendy's but he's had previous experience at retail establishments and he was also a janitor at a dance studio a while back. So he can do "high school" type jobs, which makes sense since he's in high school.
If you can help/point out a direction for him to look, please don't hesitate to tell me! Or him!

Two gigs this week:
WEDNESDAY: Glendale Auditorium, 7 p.m. 59th Avenue N. of Olive. FREE!
FRIDAY: Alwun House Annual Erotic Music and Poetry Festivus! NOT FREE! $10. Two stages. 20+ entertainers. Music. Poetry. Puppets. Tap dancers. I swear!

Yesterday was President's Day. Since I'm a presidential geek I am now going to tell you a bunch of shit you really don't need to know about our Commmanders in Chief, but what the heck...
When FDR died, his mistress was staying with him. Eleanor was out of town on business. They had to scramble to remove any sign of the mistress before Eleanor got down to Georgia where FDR died.
Grover Cleveland is the only president to personally hang somebody.
When JFK was shot, he was a literal sitting duck. He was wearing a back brace which would have made it impossible to duck if he'd known the shots were coming.
Oh, and he also had chlamydia during the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
George Washington spent 7% of his presidential salary on beer.
John Wilkes Booth can be seen in the photograph taken at Lincoln's 1865 inauguration. It is said that whatever Lincoln said that day moved Booth to do the deed, which he did about a month later.
Okay, enough geekiness...

Tom, three newspaper editors just read these facts aloud to one another and had good laughs whilst doing so.
