Open Thread for Friday
Aries March 21 - April 19
People think you're delusional when you say you're in love with a girl on a billboard next to Highway 41, until they realize you fastened a nursing student up there with carriage bolts.
Taurus April 20 - May 20
Your long-held belief that the pen is mightier than the sword will be put to the test this week when you sign up for a combination fencing/calligraphy class co-taught by an angry Spaniard and a weary sensei.
Gemini May 21 - June 21
This is the nesting season of the Turner's Dauber, a nine-inch-long species of parasitic wasp that injects its starving, carnivorous larvae deep into a species of wren that looks just like your new hairstyle.
Cancer June 22 - July 22
Your resistance to technology comes to a sudden end this week when you're garroted with a length of fiber-optic cable.
Leo July 23 - August 22
There's no denying that your unique scarecrow design scares the hell out the crows, but it has the disadvantage of filling your yard with infuriated Christians.
Virgo August 23 - September 22
Some say that your shortsightedness will be the death of you, but it's your glaucoma that leads you to drive up an off-ramp and into a gasoline truck.
Libra September 23 - October 23
You're no music expert, but the shadow growing in size around your feet looks like that of a concert grand piano.
Scorpio October 24 - November 21
Your death will be so protracted and violent that investigators will let your mother down easy by telling her you were sodomized in half by a horse.
Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
You'll finally put an end to your illiteracy this week when what you believe to be a bowl of alphabet soup turns out to be a can of minestrone with a POISON label on it.
Capricorn December 22 - January 19
Once again, a poorly timed wisecrack at the office will lead to you lying prone in a ditch with ice water up to your chin and your hands going numb on the grip of the .45.
Aquarius January 20 - February 18
It'll finally hit you this week that the Gerber baby is most likely dead by now, a realization brought on not so much by the photo on the front of the jar but the mush inside.
Pisces February 19 - March 20
The good people over at Fisher-Price say it's impossible to be dismembered by one of their toys, but you'll soon show those smug bastards what's what.

Antonio: Fight for school reform will be costliest campaign in city history
http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_3228637
Interesting, but not surprising, that Antonio would hold off his harsh words for the School Board until AFTER the last election, in which he endorsed Huizar.
AV's blast on LAUSD, and the timing of it, can be seen as nothing more than crass politicking and opportunism.
Here's the problem he now has -- if media would ever be bold enough to ask it (because there is NO squirming out) --
A) If Jose Huizar was part of the PROBLEM that AV is demanding fixes for at LAUSD, then why move him to City Council when he must therefore be at least partly responsible for the the school district's LOUSY performance?
(AV says he was not; Huizar's supporters say Jose was part of the SOLUTION at LAUSD).
B) If Huizar WAS part of the solution -- and was fighting the retched bureaucracy at LAUSD -- then why move him OUT of the front lines right before the "biggest battle?"
It all makes NO sense. He either REWARDED incompetence (A), or REMOVED competence from where is was needed most, WHEN it was needed most (B).
Any answer they can come up with to THAT conundrum is so obviously a lie, it should be enshrined beside the 80 WATCHES memorial.
-- One of Huizar's mailers ACTUALLY had the balls to say "someone (Jose) had to set LAUSD straight" -- now 4.5 years later, AV, after endorsing him for CM, AV says "LAUSD IS A MESS."
Just how STRAIGHT did Jose SET the "mess" then?
