27th
This is very true. Very, very true. And painful in its realism.

I hope that your night of drunkenness was worth the possibilities you were so intimately dancing with tonight.
I hope you understand one day how thoughtless and inconsiderate you were to swerve like that in and out of traffic, speeding up and slowing down, nearly missing oncoming cars.
Mostly, I hope you don’t hit someone and kill them. Or yourself.
I hope one day you wake up and realize how stupid and selfish you’re being to risk so many peoples’ lives, so many people you don’t know and who never did anything to you. All for a few drinks. Was your beer really worth it?
I wish I could drag you out of your car and get you off the street.
I wish your license and car would be taken away because you’re obviously too irresponsible to have them.
I wish I could tie you to a tree to sleep off your drunkennes, and leave you to wake embarrassed, cold and hungover in the morning, only to find yourself on the side of the road with a sign that reads,
“I am a drunk driver. I threatened your life last night.”
“After losing his memory card in late May 2007 [on an off-the-beaten track outside Denali in Alaska], and me [Travis] finding it in late July 2007, and after posting the first pictures on November 10th, 2007, it took Giles, the memory card owner, 16 days to find his pictures on the web.

I couldn’t pick one of these that I thought was worst, because they all were.
What is this? It’s the FSTDT Top 100

Last year, an obscure federal panel ordered a doubling of the per-song performance royalty that Web radio stations pay to performers and record companies.
Traditional radio, by contrast, pays no such fee. Satellite radio pays a fee but at a less onerous rate, at least by some measures.
Pandora is considering shutting its doors because of royalties that specifically target (and, one might say, penalize) Internet radio stations. Time to write your congress-person.
