Jon Reed notes: After I posted this Onion piece mocking Classmates.com to my Facebook profile, I decided to bring out this Classmates.com rant from my older "rantblog" archives.

Jon Reed notes: to commemorate the latest health care debate flareup, here's a slightly edited keeper from my older "rantblog" archives.Ask Your Doctor if Your Pharmaceutical Company is Right For YouIs your life all it could be?

Jon Reed notes, December 2009: When I unearthed this gem from my old blog, I had to track down a fresh link for Peter McBride, who ushered in an ominous new era when he got a Polo logo tattooed on his chest. The events Peter did his small creepy part to usher in are still unfolding, but those who have an old fashioned appreciation for lines in the sand can't be encouraged. Read on for my rant on
