Dear co-workers,
Surprise! I can read. Sorry to disappoint you, but I guess this means you'll just have to stop coming into my office and reading me messages I can figure out on my own perfectly well. If you'd like, simply ask and I'll pretend to be the absolute idiotic tool you think I am, rather than getting snotty with you and snatching the messages from your hand as if I'm about to grab a fire extinguisher full of lemon juice and paper-cut you to the pain.
Sincerely,
Me

So, yeah. I start work at one o'clock, and Don & Mike starts at two. That hour from one to two on WJFK is the last hour of the the O'Reilly Factor, and since Bosslady's on her trip and I have total control over the radio, I've been listening just out of the aforementioned morbid curiosity.
*shudders* It's not scary all the time, because there are some conservatives out there who can hold a decent conversation and ask intelligent questions. (Of course, they're calling Bill O'Reilly, who today said that Howard Dean was knocked out of the primaries because he was smited by God. No, seriously.)
One guy damn near killed me today, though. He called up to say that he didn't think it was very professional of Kerry and Edwards to refer to each other as John and John. Okay, I can respect that old-fashioned type of thing. But it was the next remark that struck me -- "You don't hear President Bush referring to the vice president as 'my Dick'."
It took a good ten minutes before I stopped laughing so hard my eyelid twitched.

It should disturb me that three off the most important men in the country are Bush, Dick, and Col
