Best story of the week.

Bush is sending everyone in America a check, presumably to stimulate the economy. Problem is, the economy is so bad right now that most people are going to use their checks to pay off debt, which won’t stimulate anything. I understand fiscally why governments do this, but with Bush & Co. it just smacks of, “Here’s some cash! Don’t forget to vote Republican!” You can bet your ass I’m going to spend that money, though — I’m not an idiot. But I’d like to spend it in the most Bush-offensive way possible. How are you going to spend yours?

A kid spikes another kid’s lunch with peanut butter cookie crumbs. A kid with a life-threatening peanut allergy. Is it wrong that sometimes I want to slap kids I don’t even know? Read the rest of this entry »

Today is Earth Day. Do something to benefit the planet today. It doesn’t have to be a big deal — maybe recycle a water bottle or remember to turn off the lights when you leave the room. I plan to walk to the library to return my books instead of drive. What are YOU going to do?

This weekend, Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history.

4000 soldiers dead from Bush’s war.

Bush, celebrating the fifth anniversary of his war.

There’s got to be more to the story.

The geekboy and I watched this clip last night and nearly hurt ourselves laughing. Read the rest of this entry »

O snap.

Seriously.

Wow. You almost thought that Castro would rule Cuba forever. Although, with Raúl ready to take over, he just might. Upon hearing the news, Bush stated, “The United States will help the people of Cuba realize the blessings of liberty.” Sigh. Maybe Cuba should ask the people of Iraq how much of a blessing liberty has been to them.

Congratulations to the writers, the strike is over and everyone can go back to work. Here’s a list of what you can expect from your favorite shows. I didn’t realize until last night, watching a repeat on TBS, how much I miss The Office.

Say what?

I’ve been avoiding blogging about the whole Britney mess, because that’s what it is, a MESS, and it’s sad and tragic and yadda yadda. But I’m reading this story about how she was once again hospitalized last night, and I come across this little piece of info: “[the] plan to hospitalize Spears…was so intricate that the Federal Aviation Administration had to be contacted to clear airspace on the route to the hospital.”

Are you kidding me? So next time I have a nervous breakdown, can I expect the same treatment? Is the way we treat celebrities not just A WEE BIT OUT OF CONTROL? Ugh.

Get your medicinal marijuana, 24-7. Now, if they just legalized and taxed the stuff, this country would be swimming in money. And cheetos. And frozen pizza. But then again…

Check out Jerry O’Connell channeling Tom Cruise. It’s long, but make sure you hang in to catch the laugh. It’s perfect. Read the rest of this entry »

I vote pro-choice because it’s MY body, MY decision. If you can’t trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?

Heh.

Me too, kid. Me, too.

Terrifying.

It’s gonna hit 70º today. Read the rest of this entry »

A year-end roundup of the 50 most loathsome people in America. Not sure how Brandon Davis managed to stay off that list.

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will be returning to air on January 9th. Without writers, I guess. Is Comedy Central forcing them to do this?
