I usually enjoy watching him, but now that I think of it, it's probably mostly because hot shirtless guy... sometimes he's funny too though, I think...

+1 for hiring an escort to come over and warm you up!

Damn it, can't get this one to link or download, but it's good too. Paula Deen

Another, along those lines:

Yeah, I think she deserves every bit of that and worse... (The photoshopped hat is part of an Interne 'scumbag' meme.)

Also, if forced air, replace filters, vacuum air intakes and heating grates, use the louvres (or stick-on magnet mats to block entirely) to re-balance where the heat is going--seal off guest rooms/bathrooms you don't use.

Warm slippers? Maybe a knit cap under the hoodie? Bake something! Seal windows with plastic sheeting for the rest of winter? Use incense, similarly lit and blown out piece of wood (or hardware stores may sell something specialized) to find drafts/air leaks to seal. There are thermal cameras (maybe for rent at hardware store) good for this too. Check attic insulation, consider one of those tent things for around the attic access.

Much like Reality Shows I generally only watch the condensed form because I can't stand long exposure to terminal stupidity. So The Soup for "Reality" and Daily Show (sometimes Colbert, sometimes Maddow) for "reality".

At least she didn't reverse one of key points of the song, ala Cee-lo... who couldn't hit half the notes in Imagine. Talentless fuck.

Me too, to the point I already have other hopes for her come 2016!

The poor, poor man...

I've known a couple obsessive Trekkies and don't think any have had stable relationships... Why he put all that time and effort into a jointly-owned (at best) place after separating is beyond me, but it'd still be a pity to see it destroyed.

John Boehner cried today when a stranger held a door open for him and was inconsolable for over 20 minutes after seeing a TV commercial with Sarah McLaughlin.

Here's hoping they go on and on and on! Usually I detest how early the process starts and everything out of these vile asshole's mouths. But the longer they rip each other to shreds the less time they'll have to rip the country to shreds with 'death panel' type bullshit!

It is always a wonder he doesn't choke to death on his own hypocrisy!

For me it all comes down to the Gates foundation vs. the fuck-all Jobs has done for the world or even most of the people who made him rich.

Sheesh, sure looks different. Terminal case of pot munchies?

At this point it's a couple-percent chance I'll end up going, just idle curiosity. But I loved this when I read it: "Because China" is the only way to put it. Last week I was in an elevator at 3pm with some nice people, patiently going downwards, stopping at every other floor for no reason because when most people in Guiyang want to call an elevator they hit both up and down regardless of which way they want to go (because China). Then the elevator suddenly dropped a foot or so (felt like way farther, but couldn't have been more than that), then shot to the 26th floor, then shot down to floor 1. We exited, confused and frightened, and a nice repairman explained that he assumed it was empty and was just about to do some repairs. Why would he assume that? Because China. I went to a Pizza Hut with some friends a few days ago. (The Pizza Hut in Guiyang is one of the nicest restaurants in the city, partially because Chinese Pizza Huts are really nice places, and partially because Guiyang is a wasteland, which I say in an endearing way.) We ask if we can get a large pizza that's half one thing and half another. Nope, they don't do that. Okay, sure. We ordered a large pizza. Nope, they're out of large pizzas. Okay, that actually doesn't make any sense, but sure, we'll take a medium vegetable garden and a medium pepperoni, and a pitcher of pepsi. We can't give you a pizza with only pepperoni on it. Bullshit, yes, you can. Nope. Okay, whatever, not in the mood, give me the meat pizza. We get a small cup of pepsi and a medium pizza, half of which is vegetable garden and half of which is meat. I check the receipt. The receipt reflects what we ordered, both in English and Chinese. The waitress is at a loss to explain the theoretically impossible and utterly incorrect pizza. Why did they serve us that? Because China. (The previous time we went, we were served seven identical pizzas, having ordered three and paid for three, again because China.) In the last month, I have been asked by different cab drivers, (1) how much whores are in America, (2) whether military service is compulsory in America, (3) if my parents are upset that I am 26 and unmarried, and (4) if I've got a big dick, or maybe if we (Americans) have big dicks, I'm not sure. But why do they think these are good questions to ask a guy who is trying to get to work? Because China. A couple weeks ago, in the middle of the road I saw a twenty-five-foot-or-so ladder, being held upright by two men. It was unsupported by anything else. At the top was another man, working on a power line, with nothing to brace him, bolster him, or hold him but the ladder being held by two dudes. Cars were swerving all around them. Nobody found this exceptional. Because, again, China. It's not a land in which the foreigner suffers. It is not a hostile land or a wild land. It is, rather, a land of pointless minor absurdities and wholly unnecessary inconveniences, which coalesce to infuriate the ill-tempered and delight the rest. When I first arrived, I was informed by a nice older gentleman, "FIRSTNAME, do not ever ask 'why' here. You can ask yourself any other question, and the answers will enlighten you. But do not ask 'why,' because here, there is no 'why.'" And he was right. The answer--the only answer--to "why" is "because China." http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/obiy1/i_laughed_way_too_hard_at_this_when_we_read_it_in/c3g52rb

At this point giving the Republican rebuttal seems like the kiss of death (again, Bobby Jindal, anyone?)!

Actually, a lot of people (myself included) noticed Obama when he spoke at the convention in 2004. That's what makes it so sad for Repubs, they've not got anybody even in the wings--every time somebody fresh comes up (Bobby Jindall, anyone?) they fall flat on their face soon after.

That is a damn cool video! Really takes the old auto-show prototype up several notches.

My phone's not Android 4, but I'm hopeful it'll get the upgrade...

Wish I knew how you managed that! I had ATT from before Cingular and was grandfathered into a great plan, but it patently wasn't a smartphone plan... they let me get away with it on my last couple crappy Win Mobile phones, but when I stepped up to the modern generation I had to pay $10 more a month for a 2GB plan! Grr! Went through Premiere and everything, still got screwed. Ah well. A big thing for people to keep in mind with Siri (or stuff like Google Translate) is international roaming/data is *much* more expensive! And that's if you pay extra for international roaming. If you don't, prepare for a 4-figure phone bill next month!!

I agree, for books you may be better off sticking to Kindle, keeps your books portable across a broad range of devices, including cheap e-ink ones that are a lot better for long form reading than backlit LCDs (like the iPad and all laptops).
