2. I so love adult swim.

I seriously think cartoon network is the great artistic acheivement of these years, as sad as that sounds. Some seriously good stuff on their late nights.

8. I was essentially nagged into it a few weeks ago.

Students eventually brought me a videotape, and made me promise to watch it anywhere except at school, so that I wouldn't get fired. I still don't have cable, but a couple of kids bring me a tape every Monday. I've never once made a political comment in front of them, but they still know what side I'm on. I don't know how or why. Maybe it's all the MLK speeches I've made them read, or the endless unit on "To Kill a Mockingbird," or the fact that I ignore all questions of a student's legal or illegal entry into Los Estados Unidos as "I don't care how you got here or why you came."

People say that teenagers today are worse than ever before, and teenagers today really DO have more problems than ever before, but I wouldn't trade my gun-toting, drive-by-shooting, skin-darker-than-mine, bad-parenting, ghetto-neighborhood-living, drug-dealing, spray-painting, comlusively-stealing, over-sexed little hooligans for any other kids in any other rich, white suburb in the world. Sorry for the rant. I just think that we've WAY underestimated today's youth; in twenty years, they will be a force to be reckoned with. And very, very pissed off at the way they've been treated.

I DO know that for thirty minutes a week, midnight on Sundays, the television is put to good use and argues for social change and justice.

The R. Kelly eipsode was just plain funny, but the MLK episode? And the one where halfway through the liquor store robbery, you realize "hey, that ain't a liquor store, that's IRAQ!" with guest voice by Samuel L. Jackson? And the one where the little girl was in church and switched the words "Jesus Christ" with "Santa Claus?"

I watched them LITERALLY slackjawed, closing my lips just long enough to mutter, "I ain't ever seen nuthin' like this on TV before." I'm still in shock just thinking about them. God bless Aaron MacGruder.
