I don't have a single favorite, but I like the R-dropping coastal Southern dialects (think Jimmy Carter), and the dialects of New England (pahk da cah in hahvahd yahd!)

I was POed and angrily posting before I had all the facts on his twitter comments about Obama raping a nun.

I'm sorry.

I find it hilarious that so many people think it's the worst veggie ever, because I love them, a little bit of melted butter or cheese and a little pepper and I have a nice little snack or side.
