I freaking love National Public Radio. It helps me combine my two favorite things: being smart, and letting people know I’m smart. The suite from the opera Carmen came on the other day as I was driving, and I rolled my windows down and BUMPED it. I don’t know which was more satisfying, the tension in the syncopated violins over a Jay Dee-worthy base line that defies its European origin or the fact that I got to let the entire City of Decatur watch me melt into it like Blanch Devereaux on a motherfucking cheesecake. Pure egotistical ecstasy, I tell you. Glorious.

Nat, you should have got your ghost ride on to Carmen. That would have made this a thousand times better. Speaking of ghost riding the whip. Check this out from Iraq. Hilarity.
