When my husband and I were first married, we wrote a Christmas letter. This was his comment on his career at the time:
“Mr. Corn is working vigorously to pass a bill in the Colorado legislature. The bill will make it a class 2 misdemeanor to ask a couple when they are having children before their second wedding anniversary.” Continue reading →
Oh Em Gee, guys! It is the Project Runway we’ve always fantasized about–the season that includes the likes of Mondo, Miss Sugarbaker, Adonis Rami, Austin Scarlett, and Our Lady of Rosettes, Kara Janx. Talent and crazy bananas! What more could we ask for? (Aside from Tim Gunn and Andrae, obviously.)
Mix your cocktails, pop open that wine (or, if you’re like me, pop out the little cardboard square of your cheapy-cheap boxed wine), and join us for a bad attitude liveblog.
Admittedly, the first time I saw a promo for ABC’s Happy Endings, I was nonplussed, to put it mildly. As a long-standing fan of Fox’s 24, my memories of Elisha Cuthbert were a shade, well, terrible. Throughout her run on the show as star Keifer Sutherland’s daughter, she seemed an uneven performer whose character did a lot more to get in the way than it ever did to help move stories along.
By the time Happy Endings was through it’s first season, I had managed to avoid the show completely, save for risking ocular injury at the trailers that popped up during Modern Family. Then, something weird happened. ABC Family ran a marathon of the first season, and once I overcame my own biases against Ms. Cuthbert, I came to realize-Hey, this show is actually rather amusing.

For some of the regulars here, our hobbies come up in conversation. We got craft-nighters, chicken-raisers, bikers, there’s some sort of crazy-ass weight-lifting going on. What else do we have represented here for hobbies?
Lurkers, you must have some great hobbies going on, care to share? Continue reading →
I’m filling in for The Grand Inquisitor as she is not done fanning herself over Bots’ brother, Trash_Melon, in his I’m Muslim, Ask Me Anything. So, this morning, I’m taking a different look at the news. I’m reading the conservative new sources so you don’t have to. Fair and balanced. I report, you decide.
From our friends at Foxnews.com, we have these newsworthy items:
Misery Index is at a 28-year high, thanks to inflation. See, I told you it was coming. Not to worry though, the Misery Index under Carter was much higher.
Hello friends, and welcome back to yet another Liveblog!
Last week’s challenge was to dress up some guys in a band, the result being varying takes on Shaggy from Scooby Doo. That episode would have been much better with a Great Dane – I’m just saying. Continue reading →
Editors Note: We ended up with two PR live blogs tonight, so we are combining them. Please thank MP and HV for their last minute collaboration.
Missing Piece: Welcome back, chickadees, to the show we all would have stopped watching ages ago if it wasn’t so much fun to mock with strangers on the internet. So thank you, internet strangers! For providing such a unique and hilarious viewing experience in the form of these liveblogs!
So, let’s catch up, shall we? Last week was a spouse’s challenge, as in the menfolk come in, discuss their wives’ fashion preferences with the designers, and the designer attempt to make a garment that won’t cause instant vomiting on the part of the judges and will hopefully cover the womenfolk’s nether regions.
Quick explanation: To pay for Social Security benefits, employers and employees have always paid into the system via a payroll tax. This payroll tax has been 6.2% paid by the employer and 6.2% of salary paid by the employee. This totals to 12.4% of everyone’s salary being paid into the social security system. Social Security payroll taxes are basically unavoidable, and they only apply up to the first $106,800 of a worker’s wages. Last year Obama cut this tax on the worker’s side of things, saving people up to $2,136 a year, or at the very most a solid 2% of their income. Continue reading →
