Rush Limbaugh, burn in hell.

I understand that you are empowering conservatives across the nation, sir. Quite frankly, I wish my dad would turn your ridiculous talk show off while I am in the room. You annoy me and make me sick. The end.
But is his theme song still “My City is Gone” by The Pretenders? That song is the JAM.

Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
A beautiful song. I appreciate that you are listening to this, Joe. In my opinion, anyone who is in any kind of band ever, should listen to Depeche Mode. Well done.

First Breath After Coma
jeffbaum:
I was listening to the Stuff You Should Know podcast earlier about comas, and was thinking about how crazy it would be if you got knocked out and woke up 10 years later, like some people occasionally do. My first reaction would be disbelief, of course, that 10 years went by in a flash like that, and I would insist to see a newspaper. Then I realized the nurse’s response would be...
Debit or Credit?
I love it when I swipe my debit card and it asks me to enter my “secret code” instead of my PIN.

I didn’t realize how many people would notice/comment on me wearing a pink polo shirt on a day in January when it is 30 degrees outside.
Leave me alone. I will wear what I want, when I want. I don’t need to conform to your social norms of appropriate seasonal attire. I might wear white pants after Labor Day too. Get off me.

Mi dia favorito es el viernes.
inmyopinion:
That’s right. I speak Spanish.
Actually, that’s a lie. But, I do have a “Learn a Spanish phrase a day” calendar next to my desk so hopefully by December 31st of 2009 I’ll know all kinds of crazy Spanish phrases. I love how they’re so applicable too. I mean, as it turns out, my favorite day is Friday. It’s like the calendar knew.
Sarah, this was the best plan I could come up...

Dear guys in IT who monitor emails,
Despite how it looks, I am not a perv who likes to watch 12 year old girls sing about “begging for mercy” on kidzbop.com
Thanks and sorry for the confusion,

‘I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear…’
Our 44th President takes the oath of office. There was a trivial, momentary slip when Chief Justice John Roberts asked Obama to recite the first line of the oath in the incorrect order. Roberts said “execute the office of President of the United States faithfully,” rather than “faithfully execute.” The oath...

Last weekend the Tennesssee TItans lost a heartbreaking playoff game to the Balitmore Ravens as a result of: a couple bad calls, no bounces going their way, and an injury to their best offensive player right before halftime. Despite all the bad breaks, the Titans still had a chance to win the game without about a minute-and-a-half left, although they couldn’t pull it out.
