Tweet I’ve almost entirely done away with watching commercials. I DVR  all the network shows I watch and start them 15 minutes into the show just to avoid watching the ads.  Sometimes I catch the odd end of an ad out of laziness.  I should really try not to be so lazy. Schick has a [...]

Tweet Most Ironic Quote of the Week I know that the week isn’t over yet but this one is perfect.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke with reporters today about the defection of longtime Republican Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter to the Democratic Party: So I think the threat to the country presented by this defection [...]

Tweet I know it’s not funny but I may have found the upside to the swine flu thing.  Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are spending the honeymoon to their second fake wedding in—wait for it—Mexico.  That’s what you get when you insist on vacationing in a third world country.
