1. I nominate your son for president!
Especially if he also thinks that sports reporting should be relegated to the checkout line.

:applause:

4. I treat the checkout line much like the men's restroom.

I use it because I must and touch as little as possible while averting my gaze.

8. Here's the background....
We were talking at the supper table about the Habeas Corpus vote.

He said "Why haven't I heard about this?"

I said "...but, but O.J. is out on bail."

About a half hour later, he came up to me and said that quote.

16. I was really disappointed in Keith olberman's substitute, Allison Stewart.
She spent the first 20 minutes covering OJ, and only did about 10 minutes of news that matters. Please come back Olbermann!
