I’M MICKEY SPILLANE, AND WHEN I WANT TO KEEP MY HAMMER HARD-BOILED, I TAKE VIAGRA®

From the inbox – best Viagra/Cialias sales pitch EVER:

Again and again he saw her flying across the room, again and again he saw her bringing her fist down on the remains of his knee with all the force of an angry drunk hammering on an oak bar, again and again he was swallowed in that terrible blue-white nova of pain.

10Viagara + 10Cialias = 74.95$
Avialable for Females too

Damn. I’ll take a dozen, please. And a jelly donut. TO GO!

DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if that’s really Mickey Spillane or not. And technically, he doesn’t need Viagra, because he’s a REAL man, not some Commie punk like you.

And yes, I know he’s dead. What’s yr point?

MY AMERICAN EDUMACATION, PART 49

ITEM: A new documentary, Two Million Minutes, chronicles the senior high school years of two students in India, China and the US to see how they prioritize their time. Results: great if yr from China and India, not so great if yr from the US.

I can’t vouch for how accurate or fair the film is, since two students per country isn’t much of a sample – although there is more than sufficient circumstantial evidence to back up the conclusion that US kids aren’t getting the sort of education you’d expect the richest and most developed nation on Earth to be able to provide.

That said, it’s interesting that the documentary uses the 1983 government report “A Nation at Risk” as a starting point. Basically, that report concluded that if the US didn’t up its game in math and science education, it risked falling behind its global competitors. Twenty-five years and billions of dollars in education reform later, US 10th graders rank 17th out of 30 countries in science and 24th in math, according to the OECD. And grown-ups think the Vietnam war started when the Vietnamese bombed Pearl Harbor, and men and dinosaurs lived together on Noah’s Ark. (Better yet, one such grown-up is possibly leading the country.)

In possibly related news, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston have found that in certain parts of the US, the average life expectancy has dropped drastically.

If yr a woman living in the Deep South or the Midwest, you are especially doomed, apparently, thanks to smoking, obesity and high blood pressure.

Good night.

Dumb and dumber,
