Two pet peeves

1. People who don’t understand that “voila” is a French word spelled “voila” and instead spell it “wah la.”

 2. Folks with bad colds who complain about having the flu. Are you unable to get out of bed? Have you not been running a high fever for days? DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE SOMETHING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE DIED OF OVER THE COURSE OF HISTORY? No? In that case, you do not have influenza. You have a cold. 

 2 (a). The “stomach flu” does not exist. It is a misnomer. The viruses that cause influenza do not affect the stomach.

 Thank you for your attention to these matters.

“ I’d never heard a politician talk so bluntly, calling U.S. immigration policy ‘scapegoating’ and ‘demagoguery.’ I’d never had even a history teacher argue that our nation’s history is a series of brave people changing others’ minds when things were on the verge of collapse. I want the man to hope all over me. ” - He’s got Obamaphilia — chicagotribune.com

PicLens

This is the coolest frickin’ flickr extension for Firefox ever (also works in Safari and the dread IE).

“ I am one of the thousands of jackasses who shelled out more than $300.00 on an Airport Extreme + a USB hard drive (ie, what Apple calls an “AirDisk”), expecting that it would work with Time Machine. Joke’s on us, I suppose. ” - Macworld.ars: Time Capsule not coming to AirPort Extreme, at least not yet

“ Sure, I know it’s long past time for a female president, but my hubris has been in believing that Clinton is not the one I have to devote myself to — my careless presumption being that there will be loads more satisfactory models to choose from in the near future. ” - Hillary Clinton 1, Chris Matthews 0 | Salon Life
