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…

The sparkly vampire guy and the shirtless werewolf guy, they’re still fighting over perfect, perfect Bella, whose perfection extends to a delicate and supposedly adorable feminine idiocy…
Hello, men! I’d like to point out that, despite what this video states, there are gals everywhere — not just guys everywhere — who are dumbfounded by Twilight and don’t understand why it’s so damn popular.

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Ooo, sparkly! Is this gonna the Summer of Sparkle, what with Edward the Sparkly Vampire and the Sex and the City gals with their bedazzled lifestyles? Wait, what? Dubai? They’re going to Dubai?! The country with “decency” laws so strict that having sex with your spouse can … more…
