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?

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. Removing subsidies for oil companies and raising tax rates on wealthiest 1 percent of Americans? Class warfare. Makes sense!

When you Google “la russa upset,” you wind up with 230,000 hits. The latest?Complaining that the ribbon board at Miller Park somehow illuminates the batter’s box more for the Brewers than visiting teams. Let’s...

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...
