Food Blogging on the Cheap

The phrase “cooking on a budget” helps to sell a gazillion magazines a year. But do you know what? Those “cooking on a budget” magazines are a contradiction. Those magazines at the checkout are ridiculously expensive. So, if you can afford to buy a six dollar magazine about “cooking on a budget” than you’re not really on a budget. The rest of us know that the six dollars could buy such glamorous items as a small 4-roll package of toilet paper and ½ pound of swiss cheese.

Listen to This: Daft Punk’s “Drive”

Back in August I linked in one of the OTs to a story on Pitchfork about a long lost Daft Punk song that had been discovered. Initially intended to be released with “Rollin’ and Scratchin'” as Soma25, “Drive” wound being shelved in favor of the Daft Punk’s now classic tune, “Da Funk.” That was 1994. Flash forward to present day, and the long forgotten song was rediscovered as Soma was compiling its three disc Soma Records 20 Years retrospective. “Drive” is the first track on the Classics disc. Listen to the song after the jump. Continue reading →

Andrew Breitbart Tells Funny Joke About Shooting Other Americans

Conservative attention whore and white-guy crybaby Andrew Breitbart told a group of Tea Party members in Lexington, VA. Friday that conservatives will win a civil war because “we have all the guns.” When the crowd laughed enthusiastically at his comment, Breitbart added, “I’m serious.” He then went into a whine about how people are mean to him on Twitter and how he hates union members. He also stated that members of the US military have approached him and “have his back.” Video after the jump. Continue reading →

Sperm Bank Tells Gingers to Beat It

Redheaded men who want to pass on their gingerness are being treated like the proverbial red-headed stepchildren by Danish sperm bank Cryos.

Cryos is the largest sperm bank in the world.  It distributes more swimmers than Speedo, in a claimed 65 countries.  And now this sperm bank whale has thrown its weight behind the many who cruelly discriminate against gingers. Continue reading →

Inside Rosie O’Donnell’s Pad

Rosie O’Donnell has a new Chicago-based talk show which debuts next month. Her new show is going to be produced at Oprah’s Harpo Studios in Chicago’s west Loop area.

Rosie has moved her family to Chicago, and is under contract to buy a home in Wrigleyville. The six thousand square foot home, pictured here, was offered at 2.5 Million dollars.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Rosie told the audience at a test taping of “The Rosie Show,” which premieres Oct. 10, that she was buying a home in Wrigleyville. According to an audience member, O’Donnell said the seller agreed to include all of the furniture, or else she wouldn’t have bought it. The home has five bedrooms, five-plus baths, a theater room and a 2,000-square-foot roof deck.
