The Weekend Desk Report
Sweet Jeebus, just in fucking time, right?
Market Update
Huh, turns out Talk really is cheap.
Throwback Edition!
It happened again! You went to sleep in 2015 and woke up in 1920. Here's how you can cope:
- Hey ladies - we've got the vote! Not that there's any reason to use it.
- C'mon, measles ain't so bad. At least it's not polio, right?
- Of course, the best way to combat infectious diseases is to stir up anti-immigrant sentiment. Because that always turns out well.
- Well, it was a good run for the labor unions, but we're over it now. So just, uh, enjoy your 60-hour uncompensated work week and lack of health care.

The Sound Opinions Weekend Listening Report: "As Aimee Mann once sung, 'Hush Hush, keep it down now, voices carry!' But despite that plea and desire for secrecy, musicians have been coming clean about their loving feelings since the beginning of the rock era. So to celebrate Valentine's Day this year, Jim and Greg reveal their favorite 'Secret Love Songs.' These could be admissions of an illicit romance, expressions of forbidden emotions or professions of a secret crush. Enjoy (but keep it on the down-low)."
