There Is More Than One Crime Here

A woman in Texas mailed herself two boxes full of marijuana (78 pounds) from El Paso to Amarillo. She was arrested. That was a federal crime. The fact that this stupid bitch has already or might one day have children is a crime against humanity... Sign in to see full entry.

Whitney Houston's Crack Attack!!!

Wasn't it bad enough that we had to watch a talented a beautiful woman degrade and abuse herself with a chemical addiction? Her continued relationship with Bobby Brown and drugs were a papparazzi extravaganza, almost as if they were trying to sell us on the joys of crack addiction. But now, after...

Atlanta has been having a run of extremely cold nights and some days that aren't getting higher than forty degrees.

How To Get Through Christmas -- The Official Manual

Christmas for many is a tortured pain in the ass, with nothing to celebrate (except the holiday or holidays -- there are more than just Christmas during this period), nothing to do (except suffer the relatives), and even nothing to watch on television (Christmas is a big movie rental holiday).

I could be wrong, but I think it began with Bennifer, that combined name they gave to the Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez relationship. It was trendy and androgynous and, well, downright strange and dehumanizing. And like an Orwellian twist of doublespeak, it stuck and became common. To make things... Sign in to see full entry.

I have seen Dane Cook in interviews. I have seen him on talk shows. I've seen a couple of his taped stand-up routines. And... why the hell would anyone go see him or buy one of his albums?

A Naked Guy Being Charged With Carrying A Concealed Weapon?

It seems that a recent parolee was enjoying himself digitally, buck naked and on his back, beside a nature trail in El Cerrito, California, when local police showed up to arrest him.

Gotta Love The Things Kids Say

I tutor a little. It helps pay the bills. It also keeps me in touch with the pulse of a younger generation. And that younger generation can be downright hilarious at times. Take for instance my ten-year-old tutee, who was describing a Saturday forum he attends where he is prompted to learn math,... Sign in to see full entry.
