I had an especially great weekend, and rather than the usual-usual, I decided to keep the positivity going by counting down just a few things I love this week. 5. The GOP congressmen wasted yet more time and taxpayer money by having their thirty third vote to repeal “Obamacare” and lost yet again. But the positive part…

Anderson Cooper says “I’m gay.” America says “No shit.” Am I the only person who doesn’t feel sorry for Katie Holmes? Tom Cruise didn’t “ruin” her career…her acting did that. Whatever millions she’s ever able to shake Cruise down for are more than she’d ever make trying to get “Mad Money 2” green lit. Obama’s…

[The subtitle of this title could be “or, in other words, today is Thursday.” Still, there was more than enough material to devote an entire Petty Issues to the healthcare law.] John Boehner once again seemed flummoxed by the constitution as he actually uttered this quote (just imagine Tom Brokaw’s voice, and you’ve got Boehner’s…

Ordinarily in this feature, we like to talk a little about current events and list the Asshole of the Week at the very bottom, but this week, there are just way too many assholes to save it for the very end… Fifth Biggest Asshole This Week: Sarah Palin. No surprise that perennial offender Palin—-who at…

Ryan Seacrest will be a part of NBC’s primetime Olympics coverage in an increasingly desperate bid to convince them he’s substantial enough to replace Matt Lauer on The Today Show in a couple years. Seacrest plans to show his newfound maturity by grilling olympic swimmers on who designed the Speedo they’re wearing and asking all…

Mega Millions is now up to a record jackpot of 400 million (if a single person wins Friday, it’ll be the highest single jackpot in lottery history). The safest bet for the numbers is still 12-14-36-44-52 and 28, but don’t take my word for it, play it…and if those aren’t the right numbers, give me…

Earlier this week brought the news that Paula Deen isn’t quite as nice as she lets on. [Anthony Bourdain tried to warn us!] In a lawsuit, it alleges that her brother Bubba—-yep, his name really is Bubba—-sexually harassed waitresses at one of their restaurants, and Paula made several racist comments. Harassment, making women uncomfortable, racism,…

Today brought the news that 43 year old conservative blogger and crazy person Andrew Breibart died of “natural causes,” otherwise known as a cocaine overdose. Breibart is perhaps best known for his legendary journalism of Anthony Weiner’s dick pics. [Finally, I can send a picture of my dick to Nancy Pelosi without the scrutiny!] Snooki…

Last Sunday brought the Grammy Awards or as they might be known from now on: The Adele Show. Coincidentally, never has someone been such a beautiful singer and such an ugly talker. Her singing voice could break hearts but it’s her speaking voice that makes English teachers cry. Moving on to other music news, Rick…

Lessons 1 through 5: Not a damn thing. Oh well, might as well make a list anyway. Lesson 5: That People Really Love “Asshole of the Week.” Although I think 14 individual segments a week is plenty, if I were to add one, it would probably an entirely separate segment for Asshole of the Week….

Usually, I like to pick out obnoxious celebrities or politicians of the week and talk about them. But this week it struck me how little I’ve picked on someone I like to call “The Everyday Asshole.” So today I present the Top 5 Biggest Assholes that most of us run into in real life. 5….

With this week’s cruise “disaster” in Italy, I’m thinking cruise lines will have to discount their prices for this upcoming year as some consumers will have a knee-jerk reaction of fear. But lightening rarely strikes twice folks and savvier customers will take advantage of the slashed prices, so keep checking prices over the next few…

Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his totally expected and predictable victory in New Hampshire as he soars to his totally expected and predictable winning of the nomination…by process of elimination as all other major candidates have either failed to enter the race (Trump, Christie, Huckabee, Daniels) or been found to be serial perverts (Cain) or…
