Lowest Common Denominator
I was oddly grateful to the April 15 Tea Party phenomenon because it reminded me that I hadn't submitted my tax returns ahead of time this year (whoops). Also because I have an inner twelve-year-old boy who likes it when ostensibly-serious cable news broadcasters make broad winking body part and sex jokes.

Anyway, I've had this photo, via metafilter, open up in my browser for most of the day and everyone who comes by my desk can theoretically note a tab titled, in truncated fashion, IShavedMyBalls, and that's vaguely embarrassing.

Speaking of embarrassing, I've also had videos of old TED talks in the background while I try to chart up the umpty different registration paths on a bunch of different websites. I've got hundreds stacked up on my iPod, I'm just running through all of them in reverse-chronological order, and Rick Warren's talk sucks. It's almost insulting how bad it is - a self-congratulatory ramble with tacked-on exhortations to "Go Be Awesome!" delivered to an audience that, I'm fairly sure, doesn't need to be patted on the head and called special.
