Let’s nitpick

Miley Cyrus and her dad are getting ripped on because they’re not wearing seat belts in her 3D concert film “Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert.” The magazine says they’re encouraging the trend…. I shouldn’t care, but it really annoys me. The media tries to take even the cleanest of stars [...]

An immediate death by secondhand smoke

Wow! In Michigan, a girl died from an asthma attack caused by secondhand smoke in the bar where she worked. It’s the first case of secondhand smoke causing an immediate death. She felt ill shortly into her shift and told her manager she needed to go to the hospital–she didn’t have an inhaler with her. [...]

Heath Ledger found dead

Around 3pm today, Heath was found dead in his bed when his masseuse arrived for his afternoon appointment. Though he was found with pills, it’s not yet apparent whether it was intentional or accidental. Considering his recent split with Michelle Williams, I wouldn’t rule out suicide, but at the same time, he’s got a pretty [...]

New Spears baby on the way…

Nope, Britney’s not pregnant again, but her 16 year old little sister, Jamie Lynn is! She’s 12 weeks along! I’d link you to an article but it’s really all over the place. She’s still working for Nickelodeon…I wonder how they’ll deal with it. Her mom was initially in shock because Jamie Lynn’s always been so [...]

Gas for $.33?

Last Monday night, an employee at a gas station in Wisconsin changed their gas price to $.329 and left for the evening. It was supposed to be $3.299, but the final 9 got left off. At this gas station, gas can still be purchased after closing–pay at the pump only, of course. 42 people “stopped [...]

More Perspective

I’m still getting people who think the strike is about already rich people wanting more money. Let’s see if Mike Schur’s words make any more sense to you. It’s sometimes hard to explain to people that we are not striking to make sure Aaron Sorkin doesn’t have to fall out of escrow on his eleventh [...]

Kids in FL getting high off feces?

Basically they’re bottling urine and feces and placing a balloon over the bottle opening. They leave it out in the sun for a few days, or even a few hours to ferment then they get high off the gases that have separated. It’s supposedly similar to a cocaine high, but the hallucinations are even stronger. [...]

So from talking about it at work and with neighbors and everyone, it seems some don’t quite grasp what the strike is about. Jenna Fischer (Pam–The Office) has been blogging about it and she tells it in a way that’s pretty easy to understand. Who benefits from the strike? Who are we fighting for? Some [...]

Strike On

The strike is still going strong, with most nighttime talk shows such as Leno, Letterman, The Daily Show and Colbert report all going to immediate reruns. Leno even showed up at a picket to bring doughnuts to the group. This is the first walkout since 1988–the 1988 strike lasted 22 weeks and cost over $500 [...]

‘Cause we’re on strike

Anyone remember that song from Rocco’s Modern Life? It was the episode where they went to the movies–I think this was a preview for some movie about garbage workers on strike–they were singing rats, I believe. Anyhow, the writer’s strike is officially under way. The part of me that enjoys drama can’t wait to see [...]
