LOOKING FOR SYMPATHY!
OK! Every morning I come to work and am subjected to my co-workers radio. She listens to this annoying guy named "cornbread" he reminds me of Rush Limbaugh! Anyway, usually I just try and block it out, but this morning he got on a rampage about Bush and the lack of WMD in Iraq. He said and I quote, "the fact that there were no WMD in Iraq is irrelevant," then he rambles awhile about how Bush has been the president with the least amount of attacks (post 9/11) on the US in years. This man is so irritating to me! Then he proceeds to say, "Our commander and chief president Bush has put our country on the offense instead of the defense." Ok, now get this, he proceeds to ask for callers and people call in and cheer him on! I hate where I live!
:puke: :wtf:

9. You have to think like a republican -
Now that we've declared we're at war with everyone, there are no more random attacks on the US or it's citizens.

Because they're not attacks, they're acts of war.

When the truth is too much to take, redefine reality.

So, what he says is true - this president has the fewest attacks of any president, because this president has had us continually at war longer than any president since, I would hazard a guess, Johnson (maybe Nixon).

5. It should be harassment
I've actually asked her to turn it down before, but have you ever seen that movie Office Space? You know where he asks that crazy guy to turn his radio down and he rambles about how he's aloud to listen to it at a reasonable volume? Yeah, that's similar to how it went.

6. Bring your Walkman.
He'll probably change the station if he realizes he's not annoying you anymore.

7. Things like this are the reason my XM goes everywhere with me!
I have my XM satellite radio on at work, on headphones, all day. That way, I'm not driven round the bend by overhearing idiotic conversations, people who hum and whistle, people who make horrible noises when they eat, people who click their pens, etc. And I certainly don't have to listen to other people's choice of "music" or talk radio! I keep the volume low enough that I can still hear my phone or my two-way. It keeps me sane.

10. How's the reception indoors?
I'm moving to a cube farm in May, and will want something to drown out the cube farm noises.
