Sent a book back to Amazon with the note that there were inkblots and consequently illegible words on page 179.

Got its replacement. Guess what I found and where I found it?

Emailed Amazon's customer service. They're refunding me and suggesting I buy from an Amazon Marketplace seller, since they can't replace the same thing a second time. But they are looking into it, at least.

Apparently today's paper talks about people proposing to give the governor
and a few other high-ups a raise.

Not us, mind. Not the people who actually do the work around here. Just the
big names. I'm sure they work hard and deserve a raise, but they already
make six figures, what do they need a raise for?

So apparently some guy in Kansas donated sperm to a lesbian couple where
the contact point was Craigslist, not a sperm bank, and now that the
couple's split, Kansas wants the guy to pay the custodial parent child
support. And everybody is talking about it as a case in point of the
dangers of donating sperm through not-a-sperm-bank.

Why is nobody talking about it as a case in point of the problems of not
having marriage equality? Because this kid does not have a dad, and it's
ridiculous to try to treat the sperm donor as a dad. This kid has two moms,
and the one that doesn't have custody should retain parental rights and
responsibilities including but not limited to the child support Kansas is
trying to get the sperm donor to pay.

So whose bright idea was it to make the Kindle Fire put
not-bought-from-Amazon videos in the photo gallery, not sort them by
filename, not even let the person browsing the gallery SEE the filename...
