Here’s another little holiday tidbit for y’all. NPR’s Weekend Edition this morning featured some ultra-bad mom songs. These included a cacaphonous cover of Paul Anka’s ultra-annoying and arrogant “She’s Having my Baby” by a Pakastani guy going by the name Piranha Man. Check out the link for audio. And just in case you forget Paul…

A note for modern luddites
I’ve always had a strange sort of sympathy for luddites. If Ted K. hadn’t of killed people, his ideas would have been much more powerful. Don’t get me wrong, I like technology, I use it all the time.
