A cool list of literary tattoos includes several nostalgic tributes to Curious George. Wait a second- see the one on the left?
Question:I thought I understood the psychology behind bad tattoos, but why would anyone get a tattoo of something that was invented as a T-Shirt?

It’s been along-held dream of mine to export New York pizza to other parts of the States. Having lived in the Empire State, and taken good pizza for granted, for most of my life, I was shocked (SHOCKED!) to experience the terrible quality of it on other parts of the country. It’s one thing for […]

Well, as he promised on Real Time with Bill Maher, Congressman Frank has introduced a bill to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana. If you support the cause, head over to the Marijuana Policy Project and use their handy system to let your representatives know!

Oh man, what a hilarious take-down of Hillary in regards to those unfortunate fibs about being sniped at in Bosnia.

E-Mail From Aunt Accidentally Opened
“Maybe it was the hangover or my roommate distracting me,” said Petersen, who, after realizing the roughly 17 different attachments had begun slowly loading despite her objections, passed the time scrolling through the two pages of addresses the message had previously been forwarded to. “The multicolored fonts, the smiley faces, the […]

About a year ago, I was undecided as to who I would support for President, and my friend Scott played for me this speech by Barack Obama on the role of religion and tolerance in public discourse. As a former Christian and former Atheist, and as someone who values reason and rationality but also understands […]

This has been all over the blogosphere lately, but if you haven’t seen this ridiculous response from the NY State chapter of NOW to Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Obama, it’s somewhat shocking. Choice excerpts:

Shocking news today that Heath Ledger, who is set to appear as the Joker in The Dark Knight later this year, has died in an apparent suicide.
This is totally unexpected- from a professional standpoint Ledger was at the prime of his life. He received acclaimed reviews for his role of Ennis in Brokeback Mountain, and […]

The success of 2 Buck Chuck is satisfying to anyone who can’t stand wine snobbishness. Probably Trader Joe’s cheapest brand of wine, Chuck, formally known as Charles Shaw, has been gaining popularity for a few years now, to the chagrin of more expensive Napa vinyards, and for good reason- in addition to being dirt cheap, […]
