Funny Interview on NPR

Just heard a funny interview on NPR with George Carlin. He was talking about how he used to do some routine called "The Secret News" and he listed some of the topics that he listed in his fake news report, as if they were headlines:

  • Everybody is Scared

  • No One Knows What They're Doing

  • At Least One of Your Children Will Disappoint You

  • Everyone is Dressed Improperly

  • Your House Will Never Be Perfectly Clean

It's like the stuff you secretly suspect is true but no one will admit. Everybody's house is a mess, no one has a plan, etc. Pretty funny.

Cool Savings Idea

Hey, look at this cool idea from Bank of America. I know lots of people hate B of A because it's basically taking over the country and will be the only bank or something, but I haven't had any complaints so far about them since I've banked with them. And Rob's banked with them for years exclusively online until they took over Fleet so now we have branches here. Anyway, I think this is a good idea. It's just like saving up your change in a jar, but easier.

Thanks for stopping by!

Buy Me Stuff

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
