If it looks like I'm getting smaller, don't worry, I'm leaving.

I give it a 7. Not much of a beat, but lotsa faggots.

My favorite Toby Keith song is "You Ain't Much Fun Since I Quit Drinkin'."

Toby Keith is the CMA version of Ted Nugent. For a real C&W song, try "Drop Kick Me Jesus" by Bobby Bare.

When it comes to Texas Swing music Asleep at the Wheel rules as far I am concerned.

What's with the name "Toby"? Sounds kinda fruity to me. Know what I mean? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

Watching part of the video where the president is crowd surfing (or whatever) on Wall Street begs the question: are the rightwingers ever going to decide between Obama being a puppet of the bankers or being a socialist? Because this is just plain getting confusing.

<i>"Spill a cup of coffee/ Get a million dollars.”</i> The true story.

This lawsuit has become iconic. Everyone thinks they know what happened: Stupid old lady spills coffee on herself, sues McDonald's, and wins millions from a Oprah-ized jury. And almost everyone is wrong.

Stella Liebeck spilled the coffee on herself when she was adding cream and sugar as a passenger in her grandson's car. The car was stopped. The McDonald's coffee was intentionally served at a very high temperature. In Ms Liebeck's case it was hot enough to cause third degree burns. She wanted McDonald's to pay her $20,000 medical bill, but the company refused. So she sued. It turns out hundreds of other customers had complained or been burned by the extremely hot coffee. But McDonald's didn't lower the temperature because -- they felt -- the hotter coffee helped increase sales. The jury thought that was reckless and awarded Ms Liebeck a share of McDonald's daily coffee revenue. <a href="http:\/\/www.lectlaw.com\/files\/cur78.htm" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur78.htm">http://www.lectlaw.com/file...

Nice one Toby Keith. Ripping off an ancient British band singing about a British artist is <em>totally</em> pro-Murka!

You know them Brits are Yooropeens, right, asshole?
