Top Chef, Obama and Icky Stuff About Me

2009-03-06T18:01:08Z

I've been exceptionally lazy of late. I guess that's obvious to the tens of people who read my blogs. It's not that I have nothing to say. If anything, there so much stuff running through my head it's impossible to sort it out and settle on one su...

Dirt: It's What's for Dinner

2009-01-28T17:38:09Z

I'm like those people who watch shows they hate and then bitch about how much the show sucks. I can't stop reading the NY Times. It is, after all, the self-proclaimed Paper of Record, and sometimes I find an article that actually speaks the truth....

24

2009-01-22T16:46:50Z

24 is back on, so yay to that. Last season was completely over the top, but that didn't keep me from bouncing up and down on the couch when it returned. Is there a bigger badass on television than Jack Bauer? I say NO. I mean, he's died for real a...

Mandatory Cat Post

2009-01-19T16:57:03Z

When I started this blog, I was sure I would be posting about cats on a regular basis. Not so, and I don't know why. They're mandatory for all bloggers, aren't they? I think legislation was passed years ago. This is one of the funniest cat-relate...

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette

2008-12-31T16:09:28Z

As you might have heard, much has been made about Barack Obama's smoking habit. I don't know who decided to make a public fuss about it, but I'll make a wild and completely unfounded accusation that it was a Republican who wanted to cast doubt on ...

Bride Wars

2008-12-30T15:03:51Z

Two things before I get to my point: 1) I don't usually condemn a movie without seeing it first. Like anyone, I have my rules: any movie based on a character from Saturday Night Live is most likely going to suck; ditto any Rob Schneider movies; a...

A Map of Whose World?

2008-12-21T16:18:10Z

JP and I were trying to remember which county Hanover, PA is in. (It's York County, by the way.) I did some googling (and by some I mean a half hour's worth) to find a map of PA's counties. I came across this, which gave me a big laugh. 1. There...

The Christmas Shoes

2008-12-15T15:40:39Z

I can't say I blame the Iraqi reporter who did this. I guess Bush thought he was on sort of victory tour. Yeah. Not so much. At least all that working out paid off. He ducks with the best of them.

Food Elitism at Its Worst

2008-11-08T17:14:33Z

I'm so mad right now I could spit. Michael Ruhlman put up this post about a new documentary called Food Fight. He encourages everyone to pay more for their food, which is, of course, a great idea. But, honestly, how in hell can his readers think i...
