Not to be a nitpicker, but Bo is not a Border Collie...he's a Rough Collie (I have a BC, otherwise known as the Best Dog In The World :)

I read that story this morning...how totally AWESOME to have your dog come back after that long!!!!!!

Great, all these years of breast-rubbing for nothing

No no - SELF exams may not save YOUR life but it says nothing about rubbing OTHER breasts. Keep doing it. That's what I'm doing. Trying to save one life at a time.

Which line is for the Good Citizen Award?

Is KEXP special somehow? Not being snarky, I just don't know KEXP from WKRP in Cincinnati lol.

I'd have a TV is they still made shows like WKRP in Cincinnati!

KEXP is one of the best (and last) independent radio stations in the U.S. They're awesome.

Does anyone else find it crazy that the cops were able to catch 69 teenage kids. Don't kids run from the cops anymore when parties get busted? Maybe the Daley should get the Naperville cops to help with chicago's crime.

PS Props to the kids for throwing a rager on a Monday!!

Apparently what Daley needs to do is import the Naperville Police Dept. into Chicago.
