AJArnold "Poet" Jackson

Yo, what'd you call me? Yo, fuck you, you greasy old bitch.

Hey, Poet.

AJArnold "Poet" Jackson

Oh, what you think? I don't know where 122 Wayne Street is? Think again, bitch.

What the fuck's wrong with you, son?

AJArnold "Poet" Jackson

Man, she said she wasn't about to give up her credit card number to some strange spook. How the fuck did she even know I was black?

That's irrelevant. You hang up and calmly move on to the next call.

AJArnold "Poet" Jackson

No, man, fuck that, I ain't putting my pride on the line so some bullshit Senator can get re-elected.

Well, in that case, you're fired.

AJArnold "Poet" Jackson

What?

AJArnold "Poet" Jackson

And on a more controversial note, in a stunning defeat for state prosecutors, convicted murderer Jazz Hoyt's death sentence was overturned. Instead of being executed as scheduled, Hoyt will be moved to the Oswald Correction facility's psychiatric unit, and then later to the Connolly Institute, a hospital in Morrisville, which specializes in treating the criminally insane.

This is bullshit! How come fuckin' Hoyt gets off and Cyril doesn't!?

AZArnie Zelman

AZArnie Zelman

Afraid so, Ryan.

Goddamnit!

AZArnie Zelman

Unless our latest appeal is excepted by the court, Cyril dies, two weeks from Thursday.

Fuck.

Back in the 60's, the department of defense created the Internet. Little did they know they were mixing concrete to build the global village. There's nothing concrete about it, though. People get digital mail from electronic boxes, they congregate in chat rooms that have no walls and no doors. Millions around the world have instant access to each other and stores and food and entertainment, but if it's such a revolution in communications, why does studies show the more time one spends online, the more isolation one suffers?
