In ten years we’ve totally forgotten about Bennifer; Steel Magnolias will go on because the power of being in a bad mood for forty years is too compelling to ignore; NBC resurrects the 1990’s; Jim Lehrer in his own defense; and Christian Bale decides to make movies because duh! Continue reading
Not every picture is glamorous. Some of them are downright embarrassing or shameful. Bad hair, bad art, bad decorating? Show us your shame and embarrassment. Continue reading
A message to the undecided voter, the Level 68 State Senate Candidate, Fightin’ Barack Rides Again, Wall Street pay: still nuts, Racists: also bad spellers, the case against the Baby Boomers, Paul Ryan’s debt to Barry Goldwater, Birders fight back, Coal workers: company coerced them into donating to GOP, the Abortion paradox, a tip of the hat to Scott Tipton, and a wag of the finger at Phil Gingrey.

Oh, dear Lord. There’s a whole new word out there for Republicans who don’t believe today’s job numbers. Truthers. That’s not very creative.

I’m pretty sure Michael Phelps doesn’t have an Intense Debate account, so I’m not going there.
For the rest of us who just want to be a little stronger, a little bigger, maybe a little more lean, here’s the supplements I recommend, because they’ve produced tangible, noticeable results for me. Continue reading
