Resolutions Suck
I’m not a big believer in the New Year’s Resolution. Who the hell ever follows through? What’s the point? A year ago, my Ex (above in all her pensive glory) made her resolution to, “Be a better girlfriend.” Notice the “Ex” part. Therefore, I’m making a simple CHANGE, not RESOLUTION: I’m going to listen to different music. I find myself...

Wojo: Bloomberg will run →
I often wait until it is too late to go on the record with my predictions (I picked Huckabee months ago — have the chat transcript to prove it!), but my New Year’s prediction is that Bloomberg will run.  He has been laying the groundwork for months and foreign policy schooling is the dead giveaway for all potential candidates.

Kenya Leader Re-Elected in Disputed Vote Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, chief European Union election monitor, said the Electoral Commission of Kenya “has not succeeded in establishing the credibility of the tallying process to the satisfaction of all...

IDon't →
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. Question for all you lovely ladies out there: If your man proposed in a way that made you feel nauseas — the way he asked, the totally wrong ring, etc. — would you still say, “Yes?” I only know of one such situation. She said, “Yes.” Well, sort of. via valleywag

Crappy awards shows just got worse →
This is a nice, but if we were all really serious about supporting the WGA strike wouldn’t we just boycott TV? I’m sure that would cut into their existing royalties, but a TV boycott is the one way to force the AMPTP’s hand. I could start by watching less Hulu, but until I’m asked, I’m taking the George W. approach: “Keep shopping!” Waivers Denied for...
