Kermit the Frog covering Hurt, by I think Nine Inch Nails originally, then covered really well by Johnny Cash.
Why I get nothing done (pic, SFW).
On Wal-Mart's consistent inability to break through into New York, the CEO has finally given up on trying anymore. Says it's too expensive and no longer worth the effort, given the extreme opposition from New Yorkers: “You have people who are just better than us and don’t want a Wal-Mart in their community.” Right ON, New York!
