You're in luck. This video encapsulates the entire chaotic affair — from harlequin go-go girl highs to bunny-eared gas-mask lows — then lingers on the haunting image of a lone, shirtless raver, bravely facing down the LAPD.

Homework is only the worst idea ever. Who was the first jerk who was like, "Hey, got a great idea here, after we made you sit in school all day let's send more school work home with you, so as to infest your every waking hour with dread and help you develop a lifelong loathing of formal education?"

Los Angeles Democrat Dan Adler, of "I'M KOREAN! WE MINORITIES SHOULD STICK TOGETHER!" campaign ad fame, received 285 votes in his Congressional primary. That's half of one percent of the vote. I guess the Asian-Jewish laundromat vote wasn't as critical as he thought? [Previously]
