Really? Why does anyone care about Charlie Sheen or any of the millions of substance abusers that couldn't give a shit about themselves?
Intervention; what a complete waste of peoples time. Do I feel their pain? I certainly feel for the people trying to maintain some sort of life when the people that they love are damned and determined to ride the ( Read more... )

A new addiction!! Archer. Although it's not new - this is the second season. If you ever watched Frisky Dingoes, Archer is written by the same talent - Adam Reed. It is an animated parody of the world of secret agents. Sterling Mallory Archer is the head agent for the ISIS Agency. His mother is the Owner/Director.

Mom had hip replacement 4 years ago. The ( Read more... )

Why are we not seeing coverage of the war in Afghanistan? Why aren't we seeing anything about Afghanistan? What are we doing there? Where is the money going that is being spent? What the hell is happening?

I hear people theorize that we are concerned with things at home;the economy,the lack of jobs and the oil spill - well, yeah; that shouldn't ( Read more... )

Welcome to the hell that is South Carolina, the joke that never ends, the 'regift' that keeps on gifting. *sigh*
I have no illusions about the state that I live in; I knew it was a lost cause when Strom Thurmond was voted in office over and over and over. I knew when the answer to my question as to why people would continually vote for a man that ( Read more... )
