Not all the time. I sleep a few hours a night. Or so I am told.

Here's the question that needs answering:

Is that a Jay Ryan t-shirt that dipshit is wearing? I don't think it is, but it kinda COULD be. If so, please let me know because that would be awesome ammunition against him.

The first thing that came to mind when I read that kid's spiel was, "I wonder what someone like Dostoyevsky would have to say about all this," wishing of course that he was still alive to write a book about it (w/o the heavy-handed religious sermonizing).

So, while using google to spellcheck "Smerdyakov" (from Brothers Karamzov) I came across an astute analysis of this character that I thought was strangely fitting after reading the internet trolls article: SPOILER ALERT, for the plot of Karamazov.
