“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

What's in Ed's CD player?

FM music mostly blows these days! It's formulaic, having been contrived from a focus-group poll by a record-company toadie. I know you're sitting out there in your claustropohic cubicle, toiling away on boring, pointless busy work your boss assigned to you. And in addition to second guessing all your life choices, you're wondering why the microwave Kettle-Korn that the drone in the next cubicle popped in the office kitchen, smells so awful. What you need is some high-quality tunes to take the edge off another soul-sucking day spent in your crap office chair, in your crap office, at your crap job. Well check out what I've been listening to lately, and while it won't change any of the dreadful decisions you've made in your life, it'll help you escape, drug-free, for a little while, the mind-numbing despair and hopelessness.

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!

I'm wearing my capris and listening to the soundtrack to "Mama Mia". In case you don't know that is Abba cover songs.

Otherwise I listen to acoustic guitar covers of whatever I can get my hands on. This in an attempt to help me teach myself to play the guitar.

Mama Mia? Voluntarily? Dude, there are only two acceptable excuses for that, either you are in trouble with the wife and are trying to get on her good side, or you've switched teams. It's cool either way.

I pretended to enjoy Mama Mia with my wife a few weeks ago on PPV, but I agreed to it only because she pretended to enjoy Quantum of Solice with me the week before.

Yes, we did the same exchange. QofS was not Bond's best but MM was not the worst of the chick flicks.

What is marriage if not compromise to avoid strife?

Try this: tell your wife that you'll watch any chick-flick with her without complaint, as long as she's topless. See how that works out.
