– From time to time, yeah, sure. That said, it’s still not nearly as often as your use of other blogger’s content, where you strip all attribution, then post it as if you found it or created it.

1. Didn’t follow the first few seasons, so now it’s all about catch up & the show meeting expectations that have been built up by others. That never works out.
2. The following are some comments(I swear they are real) left by some “friends” on Facebook:
A.) “BREAKING BAD is the BEST TV SERIES EVERRRRRRR… beats Dexter, beats Lost, and possibly a...

Programming Note: I'll be traveling later today...
Which is perfect, really, because just when you are starting to feel good about your country during the Olympics, nothing will wipe away all that patriotism quite like having to take a couple of 3 hour flights on Jet Blue.

Maybe my taste buds are dead, but every Chick-Fil-A sandwich I’ve ever had tasted like a damp sponge, sprinkled with Old Bay, & a bland pickle slapped on top.

Summer Olympics Programming Note: Any Interest?
So, over the past 6 months I’ve secured a bunch of Tumblr URL’s as I gear up to start a “Summer Olympics in London” Tumblr. It will probably be formatted much in the same type of way the Offseason blogs have been, or maybe even like The World’s Game is set up(a bit more serious take on the sport). Anyway, I do this so that I don’t spam my followers with certain...

He was going to Moonrise Kingdom, FYI.

Full quote from Politico, because the discussion is too fucking important to edit it in a way so that it’s convienient to your argument: Soothing words are nice,” Bloomberg said during a regularly scheduled interview on WOR 710 AM in New...
“As we do when confronted by moments of darkness and challenge, we must now come...”
– President Obama & the First Lady, in a joint statement about the Aurora, CO. theatre shootings.
I’m not trying to politicize this tragedy, but can both campaigns come to an agreement to not show any TV ads for 72 hours? I ask this because I just saw the Obama campaign’s ad where...

What the fuck is wrong with us? What I mean is, how have we evolved to produce someone like this among our population? The country, as a whole, needs to take a long look at many things, but how about we start at the question: Are you a divisive piece of the populace or do you try to do something every day to help make your community a little better in even the smallest of ways?
