Here is a huge list of redundant expressions. Ironically, there are some repeats.

My favorite is the George W. Bush-ism "a.m. in the morning":
"At 3:30 a.m. in the morning on, I guess, it was the day after the election, he was sitting upstairs, and I finally said, go to bed." — George W. Bush, "President Holds Press Conference", Office of the Press Secretary, The White House, November 4, 2004

Mea culpa, I say ATM Machine and PIN Number like everyone else.

I have two that bug me:

New and improved - How can it be new AND improved.

And - PIN number. I know this is a totally acceptable pleonasm, but Personal Identification Number Number drives me nuts.
