LJ Idol Week 10: “If you have come here to help me, you are wasting our time”

The dashboard in my car has so many lights flashing that it looks like a Christmas tree. And my gas tank is always running on E.

My kids come to me struggling to read, write, add, and subtract, barely surviving in a system that is well

They claimed that in my city, too. I've not seen it, either.

This is one of the commercials that plays on the local stations here all the time:
