4. ...and I heard a probing Sol Lewitt re-run on npr on the way home today.

Not that I have anything at all against art or Sol Lewitt but I have heard this exact same story before at drive time on NPR/ATC. Its seems the news on NPR/ATC has become increasingly constipated.

However, I was treated to some of Sarah dumbfuck Palins stumping for Saxby Chambliss and Mike hood wearing Huckabees soul searching on why the repukes suck earlier this week.

But I am not saying that NPR/ATC are biased. Just that they will never see another penny of my money.
