From Gawker.com,

"After some digging, it appears this recording was made between 1987 and 1994 when his radio and tv shows overlapped. This witching hour call-in segment was called Open Phone America. The phones would open up at 3 a.m. for callers to discuss any topic they pleased with Larry. Give it a good listen. Really picks up halfway through."

Can't argue with that. It's only 3 minutes and it's right here.

This opinion piece, "John Edwards and the Scandal Nobody Wanted," was written by the editor of Wonkette.

Previous posts on this issue (or nonissue, as the case may be) have received such high praise, I felt compelled to add another version of 'why the media is ignoring this story.'

Here it is.

If you don't like the topic, you can read about McCain's expensive shoes on our Politics Anyone blog. That post is here.

Don't know about you, but I would have lost it if I was on this flight.

A little turbulence makes my stomach flutter.

But this. Crikey!

These dolls are so lifelike police have been smashing car windows to 'rescue' them!

"Selling for up to $1000, the painstakingly hand-painted dolls were so lifelike with eyelashes, fingernails, milk spots and wispy hair that they were constantly fooling people."

A British high school student received credit for writing nothing but a two-word obscenity on an exam paper because the phrase expressed meaning and was spelled correctly.

Read the whole story here.

As a side note, my last two years of school in England I took English, History and Geography, receiving a D, an E and an N respectively. D and Es are passes, though nothing to get college admissions people excited about, and an N means you've reached the same level of education you were at when you started the course 2 years before!
