The Rhetorical Situation, May 11, 2010

I have no idea what happened during this episode of The Rhetorical Situation because my brain has been fried by academia. But I see from the playlist (below) that we played some damn good songs! I think I went on some self-indulgent rant about midway through the show (see: any week), and was this the week that someone called in to say we're his/her favorite show on the station? Anything is possible.
