Double Negatives

Okay, so most people down here in "Cracker Country" use double negatives (e.g., "I ain't got no money today"), but to fit a double negative in one word is amazing to me. That word is irregardless. I've heard teachers use it down here. So when they say something like, "Well, Bush is President - irregardless of the fact that the recounts were stopped," I have to wonder what they mean. Are they saying he's only President because the recounts were stopped? WTF?

I'm a bit hyperanalytical...

When I listen to music, I actually listen to the words. Which poses somewhat of a problem, as most songs are not well written.

Case in point: Destiny's Child's song "Independent Women" from Charlie's Angels. The opening lyrics are, "Question: Tell me what you think about me." That's not a question!

And another: Faith Hill's song "The Way You Love Me," which begins, "If I could grant you one wish, I wish you could see the way you kiss." I'm pretty sure if she could grant him one wish, it would have something to do with beer and naked women and a desert island. She wants to grant him the wish that she's already picked! What's up with that?

I could go on forever, but there's more music to be heard.....

Michael Jackson Trial

I heard that Michael Jackson's attorneys are going to call several famous young stars to testify that Michael didn't molest them. If that works, won't Scott Peterson be upset his attorneys didn't call everyone he didn't murder?

Extraordinary stuff

I don't understand the word "extraordinary." Wouldn't that mean more ordinary? How is that a good thing?
