And a Word from Our Sponsors...

I'd like to interrupt my Live Blogging with a quick message...

Because I drink so much Barq's root beer, I signed up for the "Coke Rewards" program. Basically whenever you buy a Coke product you get a special code. You can enter these codes in your account and later redeem them for a variety of things. This morning I got a promotional e-mail with part of the subject line reading "earn double rewards by celebrating Earth Day." Initially I thought, this is great, something about the environment! Then I opened the e-mail and this is what I read: "Earth Day is a great time to celebrate the many wonders of the world—like cool, crisp refreshing water. In honor of Mother Nature, you can earn Double Points with DASANI." DASANI is a bottled water. If you really wanted to celebrate Earth Day, you wouldn't be promoting bottled water, you MORONS!

Current mood: amused and irritated
Current music: iTunes on shuffle—Faith Hill "If My Heart Had Wings"
Current drink: water, filtered from the tap!
