Don't be a jerk
What we can learn from today's news - namely this story of Salt Lake County Council candidate Paul Pugmire, who had to apologize for joking on a high-school reunion blog that he was "born a poor black child"?

Lesson No. 1: Never write anything on a blog that you wouldn't say to your mama.

Lesson No. 2: High-school reunion blogs are a waste of time. So, if you think about it, are high school reunions - unless you're really itching to know whether everybody you hated in high school turned out as fat, bald and downtrodden as you hoped they would be.

Lesson No. 3: Steve Martin's "The Jerk," like most movies that came out when you were in college, was not nearly as funny as you remember.

Thus endeth the lessons.
