At least in Kentucky social workers are overworked and underpaid. I hope Richard does well.

On last night's Extreme Makeover show a group of preteen girls got to meet Justin Bieber. During one of the cutaway interview segments one of the girls donned a Bieber wig.

One of my favorites - infinitely superior to the Butterfinger. IIRC before Hershey bought the brand, the 5th Avenue bar came with almonds on it (rather like Almond Joy).

I could quibble over whether it's "master" or "teacher" but either way it's an easy get.

Richard kind of backed into this one. After naming Hillary, Madeleine and Condoleezza (in that order) he said, "I don't recall any other woman before Condoleezza." Apparently he made the common mistake of confusing Madams Rice and Albright. I'm sure they get that all the time. And you can't really fault him for apparently forgetting Colin Powell. Who hasn't?
