Does Anyone Listen?

Do some people not have the ability to hear and comprehend the words escaping their mouths? While I generally like to point out mistakes and then have a good laugh and feel superior, I've been doing this a little too often. In the last day or so I have heard three things that simply should never be said.

• While discussing a possible movie about his life on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Lance Armstrong commented on how he would like his tombstone to read 'cancer survivor' rather than something to do with cycling. He wants his tombstone to read cancer survivor. Not that I don't admire those battling and defeating cancer, but come on.

• An ABC news correspondent noted that a particular party had been receiving calls from the "governor of Atlanta."

• Ann Coulter referred Ann Coulter spoke. That should be enough.

I don't ask for much. Well, maybe I do. But come on people. If you want your voice to be heard, know what you are saying. (This doesn't apply to me, no one reads this anyway.)
