*starts looking harder for campaign jobs* Shit, those 100-hour weeks are looking more enticing by the minute... And I just gave Obama $10 that I didn't have, just to spite you Supreme Court.

Ok, I'm only spiting 5 people on the Supreme Court, the other 4 are cool. Let's hear it for rolling back desegregation! WOOT! [/sarcasm] Dr. King, your work was for nothing. Aren't you glad?

Look, the schools aren't going to desegregate themselves for various reasons that I won't get into, that's like thinking the majority of corporations are going to willingly protect the environment. So far, one of the few that does is Timberland. Anyway, back to the schools.

Philadelphia schools are ridiculous in this regard and I wanted to do an MLK Day reflection but my reflection piece was deemed too controversial for our volunteers. Everyone in City Year would agree with the piece but we had to protect the poor, delicate ears of those who can't deal with the truth. Bitches. Segregation is alive and well in our schools and neighborhoods, deal with it. You can see it in any American city, in any small American town- I've lived in both and trust me, it's true.

The Supreme Court is doing nothing to help fix the problem. OMG I'M SO PISSED.
