Seems that a bunch of reporters are getting the crap kicked out of them in Egypt.  One might say that it’s an occupational hazard–that’s why they get paid the big bucks to bring the ratings home to their respective companies.  I’m also thinking that in certain cases… *cough.. Anderson Cooper… cough* that they’ve started believing… Continue reading

So he’s trying to be a superstar and go to Egypt.  I almost didn’t post this because my disdain for the man is beyond words, but the video below just show what a moron he truly is.  What got to me is towards the end.  He’s saying “calm down” and then starts saying “Inshallah” as… Continue reading

Here’s an example of the type of food that Himself cooks for me.  Spicy shrimp with mushrooms and herbs over pasta with an alfredo sauce.  On the side was asparagus with parmesan cheese.  Believe me, my pictures do not do it justice.  I am very, very lucky!! Continue reading

Shamelessly copied from JayG at MArooned (who got it from Stretch).  After the story that broke late last week, this just cracked me up. Continue reading

In my workplace today we’ve been getting email after email regarding the upcoming Blizzard-from-Hell/Snowmagedon event that is expected tomorrow and into Wednesday.  However, they are passing along weather advisories from the…  get this… Indiana Department of Homeland Security.  So I’m confused. Either there has been some serious mission creep or else terrorists have some serious… Continue reading

The muse just isn’t whispering in my ear today so I’m going with the fallback cartoon-in-lieu-of-content.  At least with this one you have to have some knowledge of history to truly appreciate it (who knows what a ‘4F’ meant in WWII?).  It’s also one of the few where Bugs truly meets his match.
