I’m glad the Canadian women’s hockey story blew over.  So what if they were smoking and drinking during their semi-private celebration.  It wasn’t like they did it in front of the their opponents or on the medal podium. They waited until the arena was empty and they cut loose, with cigars and champagne. Wouldn’t you?  [...]

I’m glad there’s video for this one, because I wouldn’t have believed it.  I was surprised because things like this usually occur in Florida.  Well that’s unfair.  The Florida teachers are usually schtupping their students (Debra Lafave, Stephanie Ragusa, Lisa Robyn Marinelli, etc).  This was just a lap dance. Winnipeg high-school teacher Chrystie Fitchner seem [...]

I would really like to take South Carolina seriously as a state.  But I can’t.  Part of it is the Mark Sanford thing.  Some of it stems from silly legal things like taking forty-nine years to ratify Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing women the right to vote.  The state legislature didn’t think [...]

So its not an outright prohibition but the Russian government wants its citizens to drink less, a lot less. President Dmitry Medvedev want to curb what he call his country’s “colossal drinking” by 72% through price controls and a crackdown on bootlegged vodka.

Hoping to infiltrate the group, Captain America and his African-American sidekick The Falcon observe an anti-tax protest from a rooftop.  The protesters depicted are all white and carry signs adorned with slogans almost identical to those seen [...]

Hey honey, its almost Valentine’s Day.  You know what would be a great present?  If you would completely abandon your self-esteem and go under the knife for me.  That’s right, if you want to be with me… I think I’d enjoy this relationship much more if you looked like Jessica Alba. I couldn’t make that [...]

Well its over now.  We didn’t get the highest scoring Super Bowl in history as predicted, but we did see some pretty good commercials this year.  My personal favorite was the Mars’ Snickers: You’re not You When You’re Hungry.  How can you not like seeing Betty White and Abe Vigoda getting tackled? Unfortunately enjoyment of [...]

Well America, NASCAR just got a touch of class.  OK, I can’t write that with a straight face.  I’ll just cut to chase, Kim Kardashian has just unveiled her new car… her NASCAR car. I guess that was on the list of how to be a celebrity: (1) Have a somewhat famous last name- her [...]

U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) took time out from the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell hearings to explain his position to the National Public Radio audience.  Somehow interviewer Melissa Block kept a straight face. BLOCK: You are not in favor of a repeal of don’t ask, don’t tell. Why not? Rep. HUNTER: No, because I think [...]
