Every week my browser gets cluttered up with tabs for stuff that I stumble across and figure I might be able to use as a Question of the Day or a WTF Thought for the Day or grist for some other post. And inevitably, I end the week with most of that material unused. But … more…
A special bonus Super Bowl Sunday Web Video of the Day — a Planned Parenthood response to the Tim Tebow anti-abortion ad that will be airing during the game: Trusting women? Radicals! Socialists! Terrorists! Everyone knows we can’t trust women. As soon as we start letting women have autonomy over their own bodies, it’ll be … more…
We know how it is: You’d like to go to the movies this weekend, except you’re busy writing long, flowery letters to the love of your life, who’s on the other side of the planet somewhere where there’s no Internet access. But you can have a multiplex-like experience at home with a collection of the … more…

Fans will be able to snap up iconic memorabilia from … more…
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from a DVD… and just to make things harder for 2010, this one is from a TV show which may or may not be in my collection (it’s sooo much easier to do screengrabs now that Netflix is streaming to my computer). Guess the TV show — you don’t … more…
A new reality competition show has just debuted in the U.K. It’s called Hotter Than My Daughter.

But these embarrassed daughters are at loggerheads with their MOTHERS over their revealing fashion and outrageous behaviour. A new … more…
