BO in every story.

Is it a game for the news to see if they can mention President Obama in every story? Here’s an example of what I mean.
 
You see, this is a story about a small, private, none-of-your-damn-business game of poker between some friends. Now there is a court case to determine whether it is a game of chance [...]


Frogs and bugs

We’re watching Miss Spider’s Sunny Patch Friends on Noggin. In this episode there’s a frog that is going to lose it’s home due to a heat wave and the bugs and spiders work together to save this frog’s home. Okay, what are kids supposed to get from this?
 
Frogs eat bugs and spiders. They EAT [...]


Ashlee Simpson speaks!

Recently, Jessica Simpson has been somewhat criticized for her weight. Not a real big deal because I completely forgot about it as a non story. Fortunately, her little sister Ashlee “I had a nose job” Simpson reminded us about it.
 
“I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight,” Simpson wrote Tuesday on her [...]


Goguen vs Sabo: UFC 94

Affliction’s PPV was somewhat easy to call, especially when considering we only picked 4 of the main event fights. I should have went with my instinct and chose Vitor Belfort, which was more out of the hope of increasing my correct picks, but I over thought it and am still well behind with 5 - [...]


Baddest man on the planet.

I find it amazing that this is what the baddest man on the planet looks like. He doesn’t look terrible, but he doesn’t look like the guy who you would go out of your way to avoid getting into a fight with. I really wish he were around when I was growing up. I could [...]


F’n Freezing!

I  enjoy seeing headlines where global warming protestors are forced to quit early due to heavy snows and freezing temperatures. It used to just be funny to me, but having spent the last week in Minnesota and North Dakota, I can say, I’m praying these people are right.  I hope that not only is the [...]


Goguen vs Sabo: Affliction’s Day of Reckoning

After last week’s UFC PPV, I am currently behind in my picks record at 2 - 3.  Steve on the other hand is impressive with 4 - 1 with 2 picks that were spot on with the winner, round, and method of victory.

This week we’re taking a look at Affliction: Day of Reckoning which is [...]


This is why we’re doomed.

I don’t care much about sports and I really don’t care about girl sports, but this story is about more than just basketball.  One team kicks the crap out of their opponents by a score of 100 - 0.  A complete and undeniable blowout.
 
The losing team’s coach had said he was proud of his girls because [...]


Redo it over again.

President Obama on the day of his inauguration stumbled a little bit over the oath of office. Easy to see how that would happen with nerves and the Chief Justice did seem to rush him a little bit. To remedy that, they did a do-over with out the crowds, with out the cameras, [...]


Hearing help.

It would seem that the elderly really are just like children. What else explains the way we advertise to them?
 
Case in point, this ad from a SkyMall Catalogue. The device is a sound amplifier, or hearing aid, but it looks like a blue tooth device. In much the way that old comic book ads for [...]
