Notes"So Kim Kardashian is getting a divorce, 72 days after a wedding that is variously reported to have cost $10 million or more. Just to put that in perspective, that sum could have built 200 schools in poor countries around the world for kids who desperately want an education. Then Kardashian could have helped transform the world, not just entertain it. And the schools would have lasted incomparably longer than her marriage."Nicholas Kristof (via northamericanscum)

The government almost SHUT DOWN and Congresspeople are arguing over this stuff, instead of figuring out how to balance the budget, eliminate our deficit, ensure I get social security benefits when I finally am able to retire at 85? Please. Get to work people.
