http://iminlikewithyou.com/protected I read about this on one or another of the “cool hunter” type blogs, and that alone should’ve been fair warning. The conceit (and, oh, what a mot juste) was interesting at first: You create a “game” (really just a question) and people bid points to answer it, whoever you crown as “winner” gets […]

Vinyl Craft Lettering – Home
http://vinylcraftlettering.com/ “Wall lettering” – the new trend for red-state, middle American households who want to add shallow quotes to their Thomas Kinkaide painting-themed decor. Neat idea, terrible execution. **EDIT** If considering this one for your kitchen, be sure not to have any French-speaking grammar-Nazis over for dinner:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070721/en_nm/arts_potter_reviews_dc_1;_ylt=AvvDFJMOHWpvpix8.8W21tYE1vAI Best (and most applicable, for me) headline of the Harry Potter week: Hurry Potter: speed-reading critics rush reviews I’ve taken to reading the books in as few sittings as possible (generally one!) so as to avoid spoilers, but after seven hours or so can lead to the bizarre phenomenon of reading frantically without actually […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070719/en_nm/arts_potter_review_dc_6;_ylt=AjFQIcQOQ4FbewaFm2napp4E1vAI Being a big Harry Potter fan, I’m all for the excitement that accompanies the release of Deathly Hallows; it’s been a long journey for both JK and her legion of readers. But the hype has reached an uncomfortable fever pitch, and I’m disappointed to see Rowling believing it. A day after the New York […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070717/en_nm/sting_fine_dc_1;_ylt=AhbkRTSusZHAbjqOLthhLEME1vAI Sting’s former chef is suing him and his wife for sex discrimination, claiming she was fired because of her pregnancy. If the quotes she claims are true, Trudie Styler sounds as though she hasn’t been getting enough tantric sex recently, though the chef’s case lost some of my sympathy with this cold-shower of a […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070413/ap_on_en_ot/imus_protests_355 L’affaire Imus continues, as the American media prefers castigating easy targets to taking on the difficult ones. The double-take of the day originates in this article: On Wednesday, a week after the remark, MSNBC said it would no longer televise the show. CBS fired Imus Thursday from the radio show that he has hosted […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070412/ap_on_re_us/imus_protests_225 L’affaire Imus is yet another “entertainment” non-story, but my reasons for wishing it to be over swiftly go beyond my dislike of the American media. Don Imus is rather a scary looking man. Like a love child of Secessionist Senator John C. Calhoun and Chief Justice Roger B. Taney – both of whom would […]

If all goes as planned, the convenience store chain plans to refit 11 stores across the U.S. — Richmond is an unlikely choice — to resemble the front of the Kwik-E-Mart, the convenience store that Homer and other […]

I would suggest […]
