Liveblogging “Drew Peterson: Untouchable”

Ready, set, victimize!

If there’s one thing we can count on, it’s Lifetime, Television For Women giving us movies that seem to feature women in various kinds of peril. Take a look at their Saturday or Sunday schedule. It’s full of movies like “Date With Darkness” or “The Craigslist Killer.” Basically, the Ladyparts Network has become the Law and Order: Special Victimized Women’s Unit. How fortuitous that murdering douchebag Drew Peterson was able to give this network ample fodder for a “world” premiere movie. Even more fortuitous is that Rob Lowe (yes, that Rob Lowe) and that girl from “The Big Bang Theory” (no, not Blossom) are in this soon-to-be classic exploration of bad moviemaking! Huzzah!

GOP Debate Recap: These Guys Seem Pretty Angry With Each Other

The candidates, L-R, See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Bought All the Evil and Shipped It to a Vault in the Cayman Islands

The GOP rodeo has lost a clown, but still the nomination process grinds on.

What happened to it? Is Rick Perry’s podium in the dumpster in the back? What a great souvenir that would make! Somebody root around back there and scrounge it for me! I can have mock debates in my back yard! I can put my shoes on backward and pretend to be Perry! Awesome! Continue reading →

Laura Dekker Defies Sea, Dutch Legal System to Become Youngest Solo Around-the-World Sailor


In May 2010, a few days short of her 17th birthday, Australian girl Jessica Watson became the youngest person (male or female) to sail around the world solo and unassisted. Concerns about encouraging young people from attempting this incredibly arduous achievement had already led the Guinness Book of Records to stop recognizing “youngest” attempts at sailing around the world, and the World Sailing Speed Record Council to stop accepting any records from sailors under 18. Watson did it anyway. Continue reading →
