Wow, a couple cases of H1N1 and suddenly everybodies going for the big words

i know what with the economy and all a job is a job….but can you imagine the conversation between this guy and his Agent?

I was gonna write up a good long rant and once again go off on how I just can't understand Raven's fans AT ALL, but DCRJ did it so well, I'm just gonna say "amen brother"

when they went to the next story after the "I have a Dream" speach I originally thought they were refering to the Richard Speck killings (it said something about nurses & Chicago), but thanks to Wikipedia, i see now those took place in '66

Chartex - I'm cautiously optomistic in my total disagreement

really, not Pop?!?!? maybe not by today's standards, but at the time, what he played was pop music

Suprised this didn't come up
Johnny fucking Cash….

I found it odd, because earlier, and throughout this whole season, Peggy seems bent on playing catch-up. She got the prank call, didn't know about Hilton coming in, because she's working….or at least working way too hard on positioning herself, which I guess could be where Don's attacking her

yeah, I guess it's one of those things that just gets my hackles up. I used to work at a record store near an army base in the deepest heart of the midwest, and the whole "well this singles been available on the coasts for weeks" thing just always pisses me off. Major labels release stuff nationally, and the shortcut…
