The description is what sells this shirt:
We decided to make a shirt in tribute to one of the first traumatic experiences in life — the visit to the pediatrician. It involves hanging out in waiting rooms with sick kids, toys you’re not allowed to play with because other sick kids have been touching them, and an oversized children’s Bible as the only reading material for folks under 3 feet tall. When you finally see the pediatrician, he does something to distract you so he can give you a shot, and all you get in return is a lollipop. Not a fair trade.
You Never Forget Your First Doctor
Now I’m hungry. Is it lunchtime yet? Oh yeah, that’s why I’m perusing Tumblr. Yum!

Wow. I have little room in my heart for anything but loathing when it comes to Lady Gaga, but Stephanie Germanotta is an amazing talent. It’s a shame that she apparently figured she’d have a better chance of success as a freak.
It’s even more of a shame that she was right.
Shame on us all.

Before They Were Lady Gaga of the Day: Footage of some nobody named Stephanie Germanotta performing a medley of songs at a 2005 NYU talent showcase surfaced recently on the Internet.
Let me be the first to say, this lady sure can sing. I really hope she makes it.

[Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora Radio] likes to tell a story about a Pandora user who wrote in to complain that he started a station based on the music of Sarah McLachlan, and the service served up a Celine Dion song. “I wrote back and said, ‘Was the music just wrong?’ Because we sometimes have data errors,” he recounts. “He said, ‘Well, no, it was the right sort of thing — but it was Celine Dion.’ I said, ‘Well, was it the set, did it not flow in the set?’ He said, ‘No, it kind of worked — but it’s Celine Dion.’ We had a couple more back-and-forths, and finally his last e-mail to me was: ‘Oh, my God, I like Celine Dion.’
A nice double-chart, demonstrating both who is paying taxes, and how much they’re paying.
So now you see that the top 1% pay 40.4% of all taxes, but you also see that 1.8% of those earning $500,000 or more pay no taxes at all. The bottom 50% pay only 2.9% of all taxes, but amazingly, 0.2% of households earning less than $10,000 pay something!
Who is Paying Taxes?
