Romney takes Michigan

Republican/Mormon candidate Mitt Romney took the Michigan primaries. Is anybody really surprised by this? This is the state with arguably the worst economy in the US thanks to the ridiculously bad handling of the big 3 automakers over the last several years, especially GM who is on a collision course with bankruptcy and a gas pedal that is stuck on the floor and their only realistic hope is a government bailout. And you really thought the republican voters weren't going to vote for Mitt Romney? Whether he actually is or not(I don't have any idea what his stance is), he probably gives the appearance of being likely to be very friendly to big-business and has a personal history of turning around failing companies.

Hey, a week is still pretty good

We're a week into the New Year, which can only mean one thing. It's about time for everybody to start smoking and eating junk food again and stop going to the gym. The really dedicated resoluters may even make it until February. I've already been asked 3 or 4 times for a cigarette by people desperate for a puff because they "haven't had one in a week, and I'm going f@%$king nuts!"

Marriage in trouble? Take a shit!

You ever see the Love Toilet skit on SNL back in the 1990's? Basically it was a double seated toilet so that you could take shit at the same time as your significant other without attempting to align yourselves just right on a single toilet.

Well, now it's here. For a mere $1,400 you can get the Twodaloo. The toilet that "Saves Rocky Marriages and the Planet." Feeling generous? Upgrade to the deluxe version that includes an LCD TV and an iPod dock.

Welcome back Jon and Stephen

Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are returning to the air on Monday, January 7, albeit without their writers. While I have no doubt that Stewart and Colbert can hold their own using their individual comedic talents, the lack of writers is troubling. 2008 is an election year(as you've probably heard, unless you've been locked in a cryogenic freeze chamber for the past 2 years) and as anyone who has turned on CNN or Fox News can tell you, the only election coverage worth watching is on Comedy Central. Without a full team of writers, the Clusterfuck to the Whitehouse coverage, along with the rest of us, will suffer.

Limbo Skater

I don't know why you'd do it, but it's pretty impressive. This kid has the current world record of skating underneath 57 cars in one go. Now the 6 year old is training for a shot at 100 cars.
