oh please oh please oh please let this be true

John Edwards’ sex tape rumor - THE WEEK

today in unfortunate arbitrary name selections

i've been getting a lot of wedding- and bachelorette-related facebook ads lately, and i sometimes find myself clicking through the cheesy schlock they're pushing. i think the "mrs. so-and-so" shirts might be kind of funny when worn ironically, but i'm still on the fence about that. anyway, this caught my eye:do you think tlc is getting a cut of the profits? or is this just the product of a wishful fan with a bedazzler?

(note: i'm not even going to discuss the fact that it's called a "burnout tunic", as i think that fact speaks for itself.)

question of the day

what's better: isolated thunderstorms, or scattered thunderstorms? as the kids say: FML.

so, michael jackson is dead and it's all anyone can talk about. sad as i am to see such a legend leave us, i would like to point out that the world has not stopped turning, and lots of other conversation-worthy things are still happening. to wit:

• there's some kind of revolution going on in iran.


• a republican sex scandal.


• oh no, wait, another republican sex scandal.


• the supreme court gets all uptight and says you can't strip-search children no matter how much advil you think they have


• my cat pooped on the floor. again.


• if the fedex website is to be trusted, MY IPHONE IS ON THE WAY! MY IPHONE IS ON THE WAY!


• farrah fawcett also died.


• OMG - domna is retiring!!!


• a step in the right direction

in conclusion, MJ, the world will miss you, but we won't run out of things to talk about without you around - acting crazy, molesting little boys, and trying to make us forget about when you were great. rest in peace.
