Radio Shack?

I bought 2 power regulators from them yesterday, and the receipt is 20" long by 3.5" wide. I'm not complaining... I hate trees too!

The Onion even took them on.

Idiot Carter

Jimmy Carter is a bigot. His explanation of Representative Joe Wilson's outburst did not address if Carter believed that Wilson actually thought the president was lying or not. Carter's explanation effectively said that anyone who disagrees with the president is a racist. Doesn't a remark such as that make Carter just as ignorant as a racist?

To properly gage if Wilson honestly felt that the president was lying or not, you would have to be intimately familiar with Wilson's views on illegal immigrants and their access to federal social services. I highly doubt that Jimmy knows Joe well enough to ascertain his feelings on such a specific issue.

South Carolina's former Democratic Party chairman, Dick Harpootlian (who has known Joe for decades) doesn't even agree with the former president. He said: "I don't think Joe's outburst was caused by President Obama being African-American. I think it was caused by no filter being between his brain and his mouth."

Carter continued with: "There is an inherent feeling among many in this country that an African-American should not be president." And Carter was instantly willing to group Rep. Wilson in with those dorks. Carter went on to say: "The president is not only the head of government, he is the head of state," ... "And no matter who he is or how much we disagree with his policies, the president should be treated with respect."

You sir, do not have my respect.

Audiobooks

Ok, these people need to get over themselves. How is it that they still charge anywhere from $30-50 for a single audiobook? And there is no discount when we buy it digitally? In that scenario, it's only costing them the storage and throughput costs, which is divided amongst all purchasers!

The cost of downloaded audiobooks should be closer to what a retail music CD costs ($10-15). And a retail CD-audiobook should cost no more than a deluxe edition DVD costs ($20-$25). How can we make this happen?

This comic is more truth than I'd ever admit.
