Forget about Iraq - what a rack!

You might think that I'd have no reason to support conservative former senator/Law & Order star Fred Thompson's run for the White House.  However, the idea that Jeri Kehn could be First Lady certainly makes me consider it for a second.  Barbara Bush she ain't.

It's not like Republicans really have to worry about securing The Real Housewives of Orange County vote, but she'd make Thompson a shoe-in for it nonetheless.

The Dumb Leading the Dumber...

I loved The OC but Mischa Barton is such a pathetic B-lister.

Mischa Barton Goes To Hospital, Then Leaves Again

Dearest Marissa, there's a reason why "Been There, Done That" is a phrase you might recognize beyond conversations you've overheard regarding your vagina.   Get a new way to grab attention (rather than, you know, "acting" in something.)  Call me when you get a DUI and pass out in your car on the same weekend, okay?  That's how a superstar does it.

 

Some get the sports scores...

Headline for half page ad in the Tribine being read by the man currently sitting in front of me:

Email Death Notices from Over 250 Newspapers to Your Inbox Daily

I'm sure there's a usefulness to this service that I'm not thinking of, but the only one I can think of is that it's a daily affirmation that no matter how bad your morning is, things could be worse.

Inappropriate headline describing yesterday's Sox game considering the biggest news from their cross-town rivals.was the Memorial Day tribute given to a legless Iraq vet who went out on the field and sang the Seventh Inning Stetch with Cubs legend Andre Dawson:

10 Things That Are Awesome

Been too busy to post but never too busy to surf online or make comments on what I see, so here's a short list of awesome things that I recall from today. Do your own searching if the online topics intrigue you. I may try to add links later but until then, consider it a scavenger hunt. (Update: Links added.)

1. Paula Abdul breaking her nose after tripping over her dog the day before the American Idol finale.
2. Bike messengers dressing for summer.
3. Boys on bikes who are built much better than most bike messengers also dressing for summer.
4. Imagining Stephen as Uncle Fester in the Addams Family musical.
5. Stephen saying he's my blogger bitch.
6. Cocktails to go at the Metra station.
7. The official Silver Surfer quarters.
8. Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan covering Pink, as found on river's blog.
9. The creepy/endearing ratio of the cute kid wearing a "I Heart Hot Moms" t-shirt as he gets into a car obviously driven by his father.
10. The Heroes season finale.

• How I Failed the Turing Test
  Poor Jason Striegel gets mistaken for a chatbot on AIM, and can't convince anybody that he's human unless he pretends to be a celebrity. Identity in the 21st century can be so confusing...

Trademark Infringement Issue of the Day

If this is, in fact, the make-up for Joker that will scare just about anybody from wanting to go Brokeback with Heath Ledger in the upcoming Dark Knight sequel:

Do you think Howard K. Stern or Larry Birkhead will sue on behalf on Anna Nicole's estate for infringement of insanity?

Just curious...

  Make 3 numbers add up to 10 or 20. More fun and harder than it sounds... And it's a great game for me to Plupon

  Game where you have to stack numbers from 1-X in order faster then the computer (but in the order given to you). Simple, stupid, fun.
