Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Dear NYT spelling bee: seriously, “wanna” is an acceptable word???

Xanadu, in case you were wondering, is not

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hadn't heard of "jawn" before, had to look it up.

Sheryl, it's always sudden. I'm sorry. Trudy, totally thought those Fetterman e-mails were doing, like, LOLPups...didn't realize that was a thing for them!(although Levi and Artie write cute mail.)
