This is absolutely shocking. No. This is just what you expected when the trailer for Jack & Jill first murdered your eyeballs. You anticipated that Adam Sandler’s new movie in which he plays a dual role — the other noxious character — Sandler with lady-boobs and a wig stolen from Benny Hill’s closet circa 1978 — would suck butt.
But someone actually has to track these things, so let’s find out just how bad it actually is.

10 months after being shot in the head, Giffords and husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, sat down with Diane Sawyer for an interview.
This will probably be the best thing you’ll see all day.
The time constraints of a television show’s opening theme make it so the songs have to be truncated and chopped to fit in the time allotted. But that doesn’t mean they don’t exist in all their glory for you to hear. Continue reading
Apparently Mario Batali not only has a poor sense of fashion, but he might not be the brightest business person either. With tasting menus around $140, Batali has an extremely narrow customer base. The average person will not fork over that kind of dough for a night on the town. Those meals are in the price ranges of the very wealthy or those on an expense account. In NYC, that often means people in the financial markets or banks. Continue reading
Every year around this time, the evil geniuses of Honda, Ducati, Triumph, Yamaha and other motorcycle companies show off their latest deadly motor-sickles of death at two of the biggest shows: EICMA in Milan and the Tokyo Motor Show… in Tokyo.

The fighting, however, ended several months earlier — with hostilities ending between the Allies and Germany on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month. The picture above was taken at 10:58 AM on November Eleventh, 1918, two minutes before the cease-fire that effectively ended World War I went into effect.
According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 declared November 11th to be a day to remember the Armistice, saying: “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.” Continue reading
An attorney who represents some of the alleged victims of Sandusky, Ben Andreozzi, is none too pleased with Penn State’s Board of Trustees.
“The board of trustees got it wrong. They should have consulted the victims before making a decision on Mr. Paterno… they should have considered these victims watch TV and are aware of the students’ reaction and may not want to be associated with the downfall of Mr. Paterno. The school instead elected to do what it felt was in its own best interest at the time. Isn’t that what put the school in this position in the first place?” I think the attorney has a point here.
