Larry the Cable Guy pitching for Prilosec OTC - who are the ad wizards who came up with that one, am I right? But seriously folks, someone needs to get fired for that shit with a quickness.

Name game
So this Democratic strategist that Ed Schultz had on his show earlier was named Krystal Ball. Who could have guessed that, am I right? Ha ha, but seriously folks, that is just about the worst name ever if you are not in adult entertainment in some tangential way.

Is it just me?
Am I the only person who subconsciously feels like a microwave isn’t as good if it doesn’t have that little turntable to rotate my leftovers in there while they’re cooking?

– Sorry, Roger Angell, I absolutely love your writing, but this is some bullshit right here. Ask any Cubs fan - especially those of us who’ve re-opened all kinds of wounds with ESPN airing “Catching Hell” this week - if they’d take a collapse like the one your Red Sox just...

Just so we are clear
Politics according to the Republican Party:
Systematic, strategic destruction of the middle class so as to negate your rival party’s core voting bloc? A-OK.

A Short History of Tony LaRussa's Complaints →
themattsmith:
Tony La Russa has a reputation for complaining. This isn’t anything new, and this isn’t sour grapes from a guy who follows the Brewers — there’s a pretty solid history here. When you Google “la russa upset,” you wind up with 230,000 hits.

Today in parenthood
There are many, many remarkable and noteworthy moments that one experiences over the course of being a parent. But perhaps none is as memorable as unsuspectingly stepping on a Matchbox car with your bare feet in the dark. No feeling quite like it in the world, especially as you seek out the offending piece with your hands and hurl it across the room in a blind, anguished rage. These are the...
