Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger
CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn’t do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. “He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers,” said hot-shot English professor...

Ugh, I didn’t think I wanted or needed an ipad, but now I do. Granted I’m inventing reasons as to why I need it but whatever, I need it.
HA. exactly. how annoying is that!
Whhhaaat?
They just talked about the ipad for like 5 minutes. ON ESPN!

I already want to buy it.
and rest assured, i have no need for it.
A lot of my world view depends on Apple getting it...
A lot of my worldview is tied up in trusting the inerrant competence of three separate and unequal groups:
Barack Obama’s team of advisors, and the president himself
Peyton Manning
Steve Jobs and the rest of Apple’s product development teams
These are three pillars I can rely on in understanding the world. My faith in healthcare reform was unshakeable because President Obama was...

I’m not sure which is more predictable: Mark McGwire admitting he used steroids or Sarah Palin going to Fox News.
This was a day of predictable news.

Jason Bay - A Met. From The Onion
jpheff3:
“NEW YORK—At an introductory press conference at Citi Field Tuesday, Jason Bay donned a blue and orange hat, sighed deeply, and announced that he was, indeed, a New York Met. “Well, here we are,” Bay seemed to say to himself while tightly gripping the lectern and slowly shaking his head. “I guess I’m a Met now. A New York Met. I was on the Red Sox for the past couple of years, they...

We have had our home in Delray Beach for about 5 years and this week was the first time we ever turned on the heat. It didn’t work. Had a guy come today and found out the thermostat was wired wrong.

1999-2000 is really the only New Year’s Eve i remember with any clarity, and I only remember one moment of it. As the ball dropped, I remember sitting on a footstool in our old house in Millbrook, sipping sparkling apple cider with my cousins and thinking to myself that I was sad to see the 90’s go. And why was that? Because I thought there was no way the 2000’s could possibly be...
