Mancow Gets Waterboarded

A rather conservative radio host out of Chicago (aka Mancow) gets waterboarded:

Fast forward to about 2 minutes in to see the actual waterboarding and his reaction. A choice quote:

"I wanted to prove it wasn't torture," Mancow said. "They cut off our heads, we put water on their face...I got voted to do this but I really thought 'I'm going to laugh this off.' "

The upshot? "It is way worse than I thought it would be, and that's no joke," Mancow told listeners. "It is such an odd feeling to have water poured down your nose with your head back...It was instantaneous...and I don't want to say this: absolutely torture."

Happy Aloha Friday!

I have been trying to start "Aloha Fridays" in my office for quite some time. Every Friday (at least during the summer) I wear a Hawaiian shirt to work. Check out all of the people who are participating today!

So exciting. Maybe some day we'll be as big as "Red Shirt Thursday".

… And They Call It Belly-No-Tick!

Libby loves to sing the spaghetti song from "Lady and the Tramp". Naturally she makes it her own by pronouncing "Bella Notte" as "Belly No Tick":

... I also find her self-observation near the end hysterical.
