The LA Times tries to estimate how much Clown-Car Woman is costing society. She's unemployed, and already had six kids. She had octuplets on purpose. I felt sorry for her at first, when I thought it just happened that way. Now I'm actively hoping for misfortune to strike her.
I do hope there's some effort made to keep her from profitting in any way from this. If she manages to sell pictures, etc, that money should be used to pay off the expenses.

The store had Mexican cokes. They're made with real sugar, and they come in glass bottles. The bottle design's straight out of 1978 or so, with the red rectangle with the Coca-Cola logo in it in white. It's the kind we had in high school, only a bit smaller. I got them home and - Oy Vey! I no longer have a bottle opener! Somewhere along the line they became unnecessary. There used to be five or six of those in the kitchen drawer, the cheap 'church-key' style, stamped out of steel, and usually with advertising on them. At some point (I'm not sure where) bottle caps became something that would just pop off if you twisted them, and bottle openers sort of vanished.
I finally got the thing open (my corkscrew has a rather deficient bottle-cap remover on it), and it was worth it. It's uber-sad that the United States gets sold the shittiest-tasting version of Coke anywhere in the world, and you have to import it from Mexico or Canada if you want it to taste like it's supposed to.

The UN never fails to amaze and disgust me. When the Palestinians were busy trying to murder Israelis, they were condemning them for not allowing supplies to cross the border fast enough. Just because someone's actively trying to kill you is no reason to let them go hungry or anything. Now, though, when Hamas steals a couple trucks of food so they can pass it around themselves and take credit for it, well, that's cause enough to cut off all aid.
The world would be a better place without the UN.
