... shit ...

Well, it was supposed to be a rebuilding year. Thanks for a good run, guys. Here's looking forward to seeing the Chargers lose in the first round!

I know it's late, but...

"Rio" has always been my favorite Christmas tune.

What teachers make

My father sent me this video. Taylor Mali actually makes me want to finally go back to school and become a teacher. Read more about him here.

Why the world hates us

We are apparently the only UN country that doesn't think food is a fundamental human right:

Another resolution that would strengthen the normative frameworks of positive rights was one on the right to food, adopted by a recorded vote of 184 in favour to 1 against (United States), with no abstentions (annex XIV). Past versions had the Assembly recognize the millions of undernourished people worldwide, which was repeated again in this year’s text. But, the present text also recognized the large numbers pushed into that situation because of the world food crisis.

We are the only country that is against creating 'an environment conducive to the well-being of all children':

The Committee’s report on promotion and protection of the rights of children (document A/63/426) contains a draft resolution on the rights of the child, approved by a recorded vote of 180 in favour to 1 against (United States), with no abstentions, on 24 November, which would have the Assembly -- among other things -- call upon States to create an environment conducive to the well-being of all children, including by strengthening international cooperation in regard to the eradication of poverty, the right to education, the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and the right to food. (Press Release GA/SHC/3941)

You can read more at the UN General Assembly website. I can't find any justification for these votes. Can somebody fill me in?

Under that blanket there is a dog who will someday kill his owner.

Thanks a lot, assholes.

Jay Cutler, Anquan Boldin, and Brandon Marshall are on my shit list today. If they had produced just half of their projected points this week, my Facebook Fantasy Football team would be in the championship.

This combined with my inability to even make the playoffs in another league have really brought along a shitty fantasy season. Why do I suck so badly at this thing?! And why do I care so much?! DAMN IT.

Nice move, Mr. President.

Listen, I don't like the guy either but I think shoe-throwing is a little out of hand:

This ain't your daddy's flute.

London native Nathan "Flutebox" Lee is possibly the world's coolest flautist with his form of "Fluteboxing":

Not sure if it compares to Ron Burgundy, though. Judge for yourself:
