As someone who works in the media, I receive dozens of press releases, national and local, in my inbox every day. This one caught my eye and I'm curious to hear what you guys think:   Friday, August 07, 2009 FGF Op-Ed: Where Did Women’s Self-Respect Go? by Robert L. Hale MINOT, N.D. –  I write this at great risk of being accused of disgusting motives,...

Sometimes people just don't think before opening their mouths.  Sometimes they've been poorly educated.  Sometimes they're just trying too hard to appear nice or polite.  Whatever the cause, the end result is the same: annoyingly butchered use of language. Chief annoyances that have gotten on my nerves big-time lately include: -Homophone (and other) substitutions. PROOFREAD...

You all know by now that I love to discuss/debate politics. While many things I bring up here to debate/discuss make me angry, something I read today has me.....ready to cross over from anger to rage and cruise right on down to "oh no he DIDN'T"!  Remember during the Bush administration when liberals would protest the Iraq war (which, btw, I was against too) and then would be...

Note: This image is graphic. If you are are subject to a weak stomach, or nightmares, it is recommended you do not view this image. Ok.Ok.Ok. Next time I'll listen...like a 20 MPH sign around a sharp turn, warnings are there for a reason. Itunes rattled on softly as I clicked on 'enter' to the 'murder' section of the Black Dahlia site I had found where I found the warning listed above. 'Dat...

Officials with DART said the signs were not supposed to be on...

i am outraged at some of the comments coming from our countries inhabitants. how DARE people sit there and critisize the acts of former president clinton and vp gore for their rescue of these 2 women. and to impose the thought that they should pay back all the money it cost to save them? and that any money they receive from telling their stories belongs to the tax payers? are you out of your...

I hate Olive Oil. The woman is a dumb slut. I have no idea why Popeye wastes his time fighting Bluto over that whore. I watch those Popeye cartoons with my kids and I just don't get it. She kinda pisses me off. Here you  have Popeye who is obviously head over heels about her. He does everything to please her. Rescues her time and again from Bluto and her own stupidity. And in the...

Alright, I have a guilty pleasure of watching Hell's Kitchen.  I don't know why, but I HAVE to watch that show.  It's not as though I love it, and some parts REALLY bore me or annoy me, but I just have to watch it each week. That being said, there is a new show following Hell's Kitchen called 'More to Love.'  The premise is simple, it's a spin off of The Bachelor/ette but the...

File this one under "you know you're a slave to technology if..." You're in the bathroom, dropping a deuce. For your inter-bowel movement entertainment, you have brought your MacBook in the bathroom with you, and you're surfing Facebook when, to your shock and horror... You realize that there is no toilet paper in the bathroom. Curses! CURSES! Then, a miracle. I saw that...
