- i like how every single presedential state of the union speech ever includes a reference to a letter the president got from some 12 yr old. how he just loved the letter he received from little Susie Peterson from Des Moines, Iowa asking what she could do for America. first off, there is no Susie Peterson. the speechwriter makes up the same little kid every single time cause it's a human interest angle that helps those Oprah-watching citizens "find their spirit". and even if she were real, its not like the president is actually opening and reading her letter. if he is, he should be impeached just for wasting time opening letters from retarded schoolchildren. if its a member of his staff reading the letter, is he running into the oval office going "mr president! you gotta see this! this little girl has faith in democracy!"? of course not. so who's actually reading these letters? probably some grunt at the Secret Service scanning it to see if it says anything about killing the president.

- my new favourite euphemisms for the vagina: cooter and meat drapes. thanks Tina Fey!

- the less i talk to friends, the less vulgar i get. so when we do finally get the chance to talk, the vulgarity comes out in a concentrated form and, oh boy, i let the expletives fly! otherwise it would get spread out during the regular course of conversations and all would be normal. thats what they get for being busy.

- my favourite comment from this slashdot thread:

I never fail to be amazed at how often companies try to copy Apple's design only to produce a product that looks similar but is noticably uglier.

It's like on Charles in Charge where one of the sisters was noticeably hotter than the other one, and yet in one episode the ugly sister won a beauty contest just to show that there's more to a person than looks but that didn't change the fact that everybody still would rather jump the hotter sister.
