They are so wrong about MacArthur Park being the worst song. The worst song ever is clearly Honey by Bobby Goldsboro.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nah. It's "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Having My Baby. By whoever that is that sings it.
Paula Anka. And now I am ashamed that a) I didn't know that and b) that I can never listen to "Put Your Head on my Shoulder" again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The power tools have been going for 20 minutes now. I've been up since before 7, so no big deal to me, but isn't before 8 a bit early for the major noise?
All this so they can raise my rent even more, I suppose. ::shudder::
Thanks for the xkcd explanation. Every now and again he sails completely and totally over my head.

Oh, come on. "See the tree how big it's grown, but friend, it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big."
"Having My Baby" is certainly in the Top 40 in hell.
I think "We Built This City" is unfairly rated because of the meta. It's a complete sell-out for the band, but in and of itself it doesn't get anywhere near "Butterfly Kisses" land.

Obama will be the first president to attend a White House seder.
Last night, the White House released President Obama’s schedule for the remainder of the week, which included participation in the White House Seder on Thursday:
"On Thursday, President Obama will participate in an event at the White House where he will discuss the need to enhance the quality of healthcare afforded to members of our Armed Forces and our Veterans. The Press Secretary will brief in the afternoon. President Obama and his family will mark the beginning of Passover with a Seder at the White House with friends and staff."
The Jerusalem Post notes that Thursday’s event is “believed to be the first White House Seder attended by an American president.” Yesterday, Obama also issued an official White House letter with his “warmest wishes to all celebrating the sacred festival of Passover.” “Chag sameach,” he added.

Wow -- I'm really surprised this is a first.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Wow. I'd thought I'd remembered reading about Truman doing something like that, and I was sure I'd remembered Clinton.
Michelle Obama's cousin is a rabbi. I wonder if he'll be there.

I was just wondering the same thing, Hil. It makes sense that with a family connection you might do that.
