A Rubber Door

From the interview Paris Hilton gave Barbara Walters:
“I used to act dumb. … That act is no longer cute,” ABC quoted Hilton as saying.
I knew this dumb thing was just an act. She has the pedigree of a future President.
Hilton went on to discuss her plans to apply to Harvard Medical School by [...]

Last week Cyn over at Suburban Masquerade wrote about her neighbor who put up an unsightly net in between their houses without asking. It seems that more and more these days people just don’t seem to care about anyone but themselves. From talking in the theaters to cell phone usage without [...]

Last week St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Josh Hancock was killed in an accident where he was two times the legal limit, talking on the phone, and had marijuana in the car.

I wonder how much in bonuses Circuit City executives are paid? But [...]

Yesterday I was stuck in Cincinnati between flights. While waiting I was afforded the opportunity to watch George Bush’s press conference on the current federal prosecutor scandal that currently has the attention of the Senate. It was quite a showing.
