  1. The Rock's wrestling career was uncanny. He started out as a villain whose whole persona was that he was a arrogant jerk who thought he was a fan favorite, even though in reality he was a heel and people were supposed to hate him. So he'd strut around and call himself the people's champion just to bait the crowd, but the dude was so charismatic that everyone started believing it. The crowd actually began to acknowledge that was the people's champion, and they just fed off of his bravado. Such an interesting turn around.

     

    Salute to The Rock, the most electrifying force in sports entertainment.

  2. Wow, I thought this would turn out differently. Andrew tends to call stuff racist and I thought he would come down on Huck Finn, but I completely agree with the conclusion here: Huckleberry Finn is a book for adults and somehow we give it to 13 and 14 year olds who definitely aren't going to get that it's satire and is supposed to complicate moral distinctions rather than simplify them.

     

    I remember my High School teacher teaching it like it was just a fun boat ride with goofy jokes.
