No, I didn’t have a note card in hand, although I definitely thought about it. Instead, I walked through the door silently mouthing like a crazy person, “I need to quit the gym. I need to quit the gym. I. Need. To. Quit. The. Gym. ” In my mind, a debate was raging. What if [...]
My problem isn’t so much with Piyush ”Bobby” Jindal himself (though it is sad that he “Americanizes” his name so that it might be more “palatable”). He certainly makes no egregious offense as Palin did in my (and let’s face it, any right-minded person’s) world. His politics are his, or his party’s, and while I personally don’t [...]

Because I heart you guys, I’ve whipped up a little valentine of my own for you. Do it with the one you love, with your best friend, with a co-worker (just don’t get fired), or even with that hot girl at Argo (that was for you, Emo). Be as naughty or as nice as you like. And, [...]
