Today’s forecast, obviously, was cloudy with a slight chance of a-hell-of-a-lot-of-posting. Never mind that, though… the show must go on! Michele over at ASV posted about a phony Physicians group, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, that’s been lobbying against Atkins. Apparently the group isn’t all that medical, and is actually bankrolled by PETA. They’ve been [...]

More from Kristin… she’s got lots of good stuff over there today. This is an unusual one, though, as I actually disagree with her. The issue is of a man in Finland who got a $216,000 speeding ticket. Why was it so high? Well… he was going Mach 4. Just kidding. It’s because he’s rich. So [...]

In my never-ending quest to entertain, amuse, and perplex you, I’ve convinced Monday (yes, the day of the week) to write a little something in response to your comments. I’d like to thank Monday for being so gracious and accepting on such short notice. Yes, yes. I know you hate me. It’s alright. I’m used to [...]
