The Never-ending April Fool's Joke

Sean Penn vs. Ann Coulter

Sean and Ann hate each other. And rightly so. I can't think of two other overly obnoxious people who are as diametrically opposed as these two. Well, maybe Sean Hannity and Bono... But, still.... Anyway, Penn has admitted to keeping a Coulter doll around the house to release some of his pent-up... Sign in to see full entry.

Damn, Double-Damned, And Triple-Damned!!

On March 13, I posted "The Big Dance" and told the world that I picked Duke to win the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Well, Louisiana State made sure that wouldn't happen earlier this evening.

So long, thanks for the slam dunks, see ya next year. Sad. Unfortunately, we know it all revolves around... Sign in to see full entry.
