Illiteracy ascendant

I was on radiodiscussions.com just now when an ad popped up on the side of the page; it showed a picture of a woman in a hat, and the caption: "Defy you debt".

I don't want a bunny-wunny

Tomorrow isn't just any old Easter. It's also Russian Orthodox Easter: Христос воскресе! Usually Orthodox Easter lags western Easter, sometimes by several weeks, due to the eastern churches' adherence to the old Julian calendar. But this year, eastern and western Easter fall on the same day. It's 420 day, so expect an unusually mellow Easter in Colorado and Washington. And, of course, it's That Asshole's birthday. But it's also the 35th anniversary of President Jimmy Carter's encounter with a rabbit, about which Tom Paxton sang this song.
