Top Ten

...things I am tired of hearing. 10. "I know I brought that book back." 9. "The streets aren't safe anymore." 8. "Are your children at risk? Details at eleven." 7. "Illegal immigrants are stealing our jobs." 6. "God hates gays." 5. "Waterboarding is an enhanced interrogation technique." 4. "Why should I pay to support a failing school system?" 3. "[X]'s campaign has raised more money than [Y]'s" 2. "Socialized medicine is bad." And the number one thing I am tired of hearing... 1. "Victory in Iraq."
