Snooki and Building As Opposed To Buying and Selling

Perfect day for a rant… You just know things are disintegrating fast when the biggest highlight in a Mets game was watching Jersey Shore’s Snooki getting booed every time she appeared on the giant scoreboard. I still don’t know why exactly the Mets are always pushing her on us and making such a huge deal about her whenever she attends a game. I doubt she even knows who Super...
