Well, let's compromise. How about, "polarizing political commentators?" I think that covers the ones I've left out, such as Dr. Savage.

Yeah, no problem. Those Freedom concerts aren't my cup of tea, but the money clearly goes to a very very worthy cause. Everyone deserves credit for doing that type of thing. When I bring him up, everyone usually thinks that I'm a far-lefty. That's not the case at all. I just really have a problem with people that are, again, that polarizing. He's not doing a lot to help the traditional conservative values of self-sufficiency and limited government. Most people that listen to that show day in and day out already fully subscribe to those ideals. They nod their heads in agreement. If he truly wants to help the cause he seems so passionate about, it would do him some good to drop the rhetoric down a bit and move a bit more to the center. Instead, he plays it safe with the listener base he has. I also find it irritating that WSB plays all of those "Sean Hannity, on the right side of the issues. Quality election coverage" promo spots, and then Hannity goes on to rant about mainstream media bias. His show is political commentary. It's not a newscast. Leading a listener to believe it may be is just as biased.

Because 750 has the best traffic coverage that I've heard? On the topic of Hannity, it's not his views I can't stomach, it's his delivery. It's all so extremely one sided and they pitch as the "right side of the issues." Anyone that disagrees with him is a dirty, stinking, sub-human "lib" that doesn't understand the concept of freedom. I hate that polarizing crap, from either side. Michael Moore and Sean Hannity come from the same toolbox. It's all so negative. Obama could cure AIDS and Hannity would find something wrong with his approach. Some of the stuff he's done deserves to be commended, like the scholarships for the military families. That's great!

The fact that Bryan Adams just came up on my iPod. I hope this is out of my wife's stack of CDs. Otherwise, it might make me gay. That's a complaint worthy of a Thursday. "Baby, I'm coming to get you!" :sick: :sick: :sick: :death:

The MSG feed *sucked* last night. I dropped it in favor of the HD feed as well. That woman was a bit of a twit. That's not to say I wouldn't boink her, but she was a twit.

Atlanta locals calling 34 degrees "bitter cold." Homos. And, as always, Sean Hannity. Just give me the weather and traffic. I don't want to hear "important news the mainstream media ignores."

Our department VP on telecommuting... "I'd rather lose a few hours of productivity and have everyone in the office." Two guys keep messing it up. Rather than confront them, he's killing it for the entire department. There are very few cases in which I think I could do a better job than a superior, this guy is one of them. Oh, Sean Hannity.

Yeah, get this... an old neighbor of mine (I moved in May) had a landscaping business. It wasn't just him, he has a small staff and owns his own "fleet" of vehicles. When my second daughter was born, I let my lawn go a couple/three weeks while getting used to the new baby. This a$$hole tried to *charge me* to mow my lawn! Yes! No neighborly offer. No attempt to help. No Southern hospitality. He came over and tried to pitch his service. I've helped him carry furniture in when they bought the house, offered to help him out, fixed his computers.... and he tries to charge me. He had a scumbag daughter, too. She was young, perhaps 14? Every time I'd wash my car, she'd put on a bikini and do the same. Talk about totally uncomfortable and somewhat gross. I'm glad I moved away from those idiots. Now, my complaint: (Well, Sean Hannity, but he's a given... a constant complaint, if you will). I've been trying to start a small web-based company. I went into it with a guy that holds a PhD in the subject we're focusing on. I guess that makes him an expert in just about everything. I'm annoyed to the point of backing out. Your degree is in X, so leave Y and Z to me! And for Christ's sake, stop quoting Fortune 100 executives!! I probably ought to ditch him and just freelance systems work and software development... less irritation.

At our company Christmas party, the "employees" had to pay for drinks, while the executive team got them for free. We're a medium-sized company, around 500 people on payroll. What a self-important ass thing to do.

Hey! Nice to see you 'round again!

Ha, no. She thought it was extremely funny. From what she tells me, I snapped my fingers at the nurse a few times and pointed to the McTool... and then said a whole string of stuff.

Totally off topic, but I read that article on your blog about waking up from surgery... when I came back from getting my wisdom teeth out, I said some really suggestive (nasty!) stuff to the nurse wheeling me to the car. My wife was right there with me. I don't remember saying any of it nor do I remember what she looked like, but I did try to take her home...

I sit at about 200, so it could be a factor of weight pushing down on the ice harder? Perhaps bending knees and leaning into it more while coming at it with a bit more speed, we'll try that this weekend. Would shifting weight too far forward cause me to do a little fruity Cinderella twirl like that?

Both of mine are rescue dogs and they're wonderful.

My dog wakes me up at 4:30 every few days because she has to go out. Irritating, but better than pissing on the floor. She's only gone in the house a couple of times since we got her and that was after we tried switching her food. She crapped everywhere about 4 nights in a row. Even when I crated her during the stretch, she'd just blow up all over herself. It was easier to let her out. My bathroom floor is stone and she was nice enough to go do it there where it was easy to clean up. Apparently, Huskies have very weak stomachs and are sensitive to corn content or something fruity like that. She's about a year old now, so we've been letting her out of the crate at night. Her and the other dog (a Basset, polar opposites) only get crated when we leave the house or if we've got company now. They're perfect at night. Now, on to my complaints! 1. Sean Hannity. He's a standing complaint. I have to listen to him while waiting for a traffic report as he's on the only station that does a decent job of that. Arrogant ass preaching to the choir. 2. ATLANTA F&CKING TRAFFIC! My commutes over the past two days have totaled six hours. I usually have a 35 minute ride to work. Two hours in yesterday, two hours in today. An hour home last night and I'm expecting no less than that this evening as it's raining and these tools will dodge the damn rain drops. 3. The hockey stop. What a pain in the ass. Literally. I get it right half the time, the other half? I spin around in the direction my skates are facing. I will get this down and I will join a local league! Maybe I'm meant for goal tender as I'm not the most agile of guys. 4. My employer. In the last three months? Yanked our telecommute perk, Dropped 401k match from dollar-for-dollar up to 4% instant vest to 33 cents per dollar up to 6 percent with a six year vesting schedule, so they'll match half of what they did if my contribution is higher. They cut our flexible spending plan from 5k to 1k. They removed the HMO option so we now only have a high deductible PPO. They decided they no longer pay our vacation when we quit. They cut two holidays. They changed vacation accrual policies so that we lose all of it at the end of the year. New restrictive non-compete agreements. They canned our $100 a month pop budget because it was a way to lower costs. All in the name of a bad economy. Just a week ago, we had a meeting that detailed how well we were doing and how much cash we have. We beat Wall St. guidance last quarter and pulled in a higher-than-normal profit. The whole while they tell us they're bettering out benefits because they care. Horse sh*t. I love this thread. It's so very therapeutic.

You know, every time you mention that, I think to myself.... "now that's freaking cool."

Yeah! I miss that weather.... one of these days, economy and wife permitting, I'm going to move right back into the middle of it.

Three: 1. Sean Hannity (as always). 2. B uffalo Sports. Seriously. WTF? 3. The voice mail greeting on AT&T wireless (ex-Cingular only?) customers. Holy hell that thing goes on for hours... "The person you're looking for is not currently available. At the tone, leave a message. Or, if you'd like to page this person, press one now. When you are finished leaving your message, simply hang up. If you would like more options after you leave your message, press the pound key.... blah blah blah..." I hate that.

About three years ago, we had an email go out from the HR dept that apologized for our incontinence. That's what you get for trusting the damn spell checker.

The usual, Sean Hannity. Fellow employees on a development team that are just "Fries with that?" stupid, yet manage to land positions in IT. If I have to explain basic CS101 crap to this guy once more, I'll fire him myself. He's slowing the entire group down.

You only pay $70 a MONTH and it's an indoor garage?! Quit your bitching! Hehe. My complaints: 1. Sean Hannity remains tool number one. I just want the damn traffic! I don't want to have to listen to this yank-wad pretend he has the authority to judge who is a "great American" and who isn't. This ass is half the problem... can anyone be more one sided? Just. The. Freaking. Traffic. Report. To think that people take his crap as news... :doh: 2. Control freaks at work that find one little area of authority and make it their own. It then subsequently becomes the most important thing on the face of the planet. I'm sorry I used the velcro ties instead of the snap-ties on the temporary test equipment. It doesn't really matter and I'm not going to take it all down and start over so you can check that there box on your little spreadsheet. 3. The scale. The numbers get higher if I eat food I like. I love beer and I hate exercising. It just isn't fair. 4. Politics. Especially politics of those on either extreme end of the spectrum. We have some friends that are members of the LDS church. Let's just say that some of the political rants I've heard over the past three or four days are too far out there to even argue. Again, people *believe* this stuff.

You'd better not tip that pizza man! ;)

Because they've purchased a few other mail services and require the domain portion as a qualifier.

But only 1/4th the price of the stereo, and 1/10th the price of the rims?

Is that Clay Aiken and a pint of piss?
