Suicide Note of Simpson's Fan


Here is an amusing story, obviously fictional, from the Onion of some chem major's suicide note only containing Simpson references. But many of us can also quote long passages from the Simpson's and we are normbal, right.

The Problem of the Overclass

Here is a Slate article that looks at the problem of the overclass, the wealthy sometimes criminals that are our "betters". The poor and marginalized used to derided as the "criminal classes". But more can stolen with a gang of lawyers than with a gang of gunmen. Maybe the term is better applied to hedge fund managers and gamblers and looters of "public companies. Like Lord Black of Crosshabour a member of both the overclass and the criminal class.

The Onion has also noticed this problem, seriously.
