Major League Baseball: Retirement of Manny Ramirez
Manny Ramirez has announced his retirement, according to a statement released by Major League Baseball.

Ramirez, who was suspended for 50 games in 2009 for violating MLB's drug policy, was recently notified that there was a new issue relating to the policy.

"Rather than continue with the process under the program, Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player," the statement says. "If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed. MLB will not have any further comment on this matter."

Ramirez was 1-for-17 with the Tampa Bay Rays this season, his first after signing as a free agent. He finishes his 19-year career with 555 home runs, 1,831 RBI and a .312 average.

Ramirez was a Reds Killer. During his career against the Reds, Ramirez hit .404 (38-for-94) with 12 homers, 35 RBIs and 27 runs scored. He had an impressive 1.359 OPS.

Yuma, Arizona: A 3- to 4-foot hole is discovered in the plane's fuselage
A Southwest Airlines flight landed safely at a military base in Yuma, Arizona, on Friday with what passengers described as a 3-foot hole in the fuselage of the Boeing 737.

"I heard a loud popping sound about three or four minutes before it blew open on us," passenger Greg Hansen told CNN.

"(Then) a big explosion happened. A big noise, and from there, you felt some of the air being sucked out. It happened right behind me, in the row behind me and it covers about two and a half rows," he said from seat 11C.

Hansen, 41, a regional sales manager for a biotech company, was flying home to Sacramento from a business trip. Some people panicked and screamed as the blue sky and sun began to shine through the cabin in mid-flight, he said.

Watch India vs Ireland live - stream cricket world cup 2011
More than 20 million watch Americans India vs Ireland have multiple ICC cricket World Cup 2011 Social Security numbers online (SSNs) associated score with their highlights name in commercial records according to a new study announced in December from ID Analytics, Inc. The study found that rather than serving as a unique identifier, more than 40 million SSNs are associated with multiple people.

6.1 percent of Americans have at least two SSNs associated with their name. More than 100,000 Americans have five or more SSNs associated with their name.

Dr. Stephen Coggeshall, chief technology officer, at ID Analytics said. “Most of these cases of duplication are likely due to simple data entry errors as opposed to deliberate falsification. Nevertheless, organizations expose themselves and their customers to risk if they solely rely on the SSN to verify an individual.”

Havok physics engine comes to Android 2.3, demoed on Xperia Play (video)

2011-03-05T21:44:00.000-08:00

Great graphics are often a component of great video games, but fancy physics can help too, and last week Havok announced that it was bringing those to Android, along with all of the requisite development tools. That means smartphones with Android 2.3 or up can potentially enjoy the same procedural animations and pretty dresses that we've enjoyed on PC and home console for years, and as the first gamer-centric smartphone with Gingerbread on board, Sony Ericsson's forthcoming Xperia Play got to be the first to demo them. Watch a pickup plow through road hazards, a gorilla get catapulted across a football field, and an Assassin's Creed-esque warrior run, jump and climb with the best of them in the video above. Oh, and just so you know, we got a (very brief) hands-on with all three demos in person at GDC 2011 last week, and each was practically enjoyable enough to be an Android game of its own. The realistically bouncing ball's in your court, developers.

Updates:Canelo vs Hatton results
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Matthew Hatton fight is on their way at Honda Center in Anaheim, California for the vacant 154-pound WBC Junior-Middleweight title that was previously held by Manny Pacquiao.
Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez was fined 20 percent of his $350,000 fight purse when he failed a second time to make the catch weight at 150 lbs, and half of his earnings for tonight’s fight will go to his opponent Matthew Hatton.
Stay tuned for live updates of Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Matthew Hatton fight.
Round 1
Hatton is more agressive, Canelo big left to the body, Canelo is waiting for openings and and often connects with counter punching. There is much difference in class, weight and 10-9 for Canelo all goes well.
Round 2
Hatton is agrresive at the start of the second, but the Canelo counters it very well. Canelo connects good upper cut. Hatton grabs to stay jabs from Saul with, 53 seconds remaining. Hatton is already bleeding nose. 10-9 for Canelo Alvarez. I do not see where Hatton can win.

Chicago World of Wheels 2011

2011-03-05T16:35:00.000-08:00

The 49th annual Chicago World of Wheels show opened on Friday at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont offering automotive enthusiasts a wide range of vehicles and activities. From the Surf City U.S.A. display featuring the "Roswell Rod" bubble car (a tribute to Ed "Big Daddy" Roth) and a collection of Woodies (including a unique Rolls-Royce) to the 30th anniversary Chevy Vettefest and an appearance by "Billy the Exterminator", there is something to appeal to every member of the family.

Competition also got underway for this year's Legend Cup with judges paring the field down to the Top Twenty. Finally, the legendary Bigfoot monster truck thrilled the younger fans in attendance with a car crushing display.

The action will continue tomorrow with the announcement of the Select Six and the Import Tuners' Galleria culminating on Sunday when the winner of this year's Legend Cup will be announced.

Internet access blocked in Libya

Internet access blocked in Libya

It's sort of becoming the "thing to do" when people are revolting: find a way to cut people's access to the internet. This happened across most of Libya yesterday, according to various traffic monitors. Traffic from the country to sites like YouTube and Google nearly disappeared, even though it seems that technically, the servers are still up and running. Unlike the previous actions of the Egyptian government, which took down entire servers, it appears that in this case, some wicked throttling is occurring. While it's not completely clear who is choking the bandwidth, the assumption that it's the Libyan government is probably not an insane one. Hit up the source links for more.

Redpark Console Cable

2011-03-05T15:56:00.000-08:00

Redpark Console Cable
Redpark (who gave the iPhone an RJ-11 dongle) has created the Console Cable with the ubiquitous 30-pin Apple connector on one end and an RJ-45 plug on the other. The $69 device is used in conjunction with a $9.99 Get Console app to allow Cisco engineers to use their iDevice of choice to perform maintenance out in the field. Cable and app are exclusively compatible with Cisco devices, however, so no Ethernet on the iPhone... yet. It's only a matter of time before someone makes it happen -- your move, hackers.

Smartworld:Aquafairy AF-M3000
The Aquafairy AF-M3000 and, despite its name, it's powered not by water but by ethanol fuel packs. Here's where the bad news comes in: a single fuel pack only provides enough current to get an iPhone up to a 50 percent charge, and it'll take 90 minutes at that. So, you'll need two cartridges and three hours of your time just to bring a dead mobile back to life, and given each pack costs around $6 (it's 2,625 yen, about $32 for a pack of five), the entire proposition is rather expensive. That doesn't even factor in the cost of the unit itself: 26,250 yen or about $320. It's set to ship in Japan in April, so get ready to finally enter the future. Nobody said it'd necessarily be a great place to be.

Motorola Atrix 4G

2011-03-05T15:44:00.000-08:00

Motorola's got a fine smartphone in the Atrix 4G, but a mildly unsatisfactory pair of modular docks. Good thing, then, that you can gain the most intriguing functionality they add without buying one! Fenny of xda-developers reportedly figured out a way to modify the phone's APK files to activate Webtop mode over a standard HDMI cable -- with no dock needed as a go-between -- allowing you to experience the Atrix's PC-like functionality when connected to any HDMI-ready computer monitor or TV. Of course, you'll need a rooted and deodexed phone to give it a try, but we hear those aren't monumentally difficult to come by.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

2011-03-05T15:32:00.000-08:00

Samsung may have been humbled by Apple's iPad 2, but the company's apparently not letting that affect its plans -- without directly refuting statements by a Samsung VP that the upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1 was "inadequate" or might be priced cheaper than originally intended, the company told the Yonhap News Agency that the tablet will be released on schedule. In other words, the Honeycomb tablet's not getting any thinner or lighter, but something's gotta give, and Samsung's not quite ready to say just what that is.

$12-million SuperLotto jackpot won by custodians, secretaries and principal at Commerce grade school

Eleven workers at Bandini Elementary School in Commerce have been celebrating this week after winning $12 million in Saturday's SuperLotto Plus draw.

The group, which includes custodians, secretaries and the school’s principal, had pooled their money to buy four tickets every week for about a year, said group spokesman Ramon Soliz.

Normally, Soliz said, he organizes the collection of funds and buys the tickets. But this past week, he asked a secretary to do it. The secretary said she had a good feeling about a store in Whittier and bought the ticket there, Soliz said.

On Monday, after checking the ticket numbers at a nearby store, Soliz ran back to his car and headed to the school.

“I walked into the main office and said, ‘We hit!’” said Soliz, a custodian at the school. “We checked, we re-checked, we triple-checked and quadruple-checked. Then the celebration was on."

The group members have decided to take an immediate cash payout instead of getting the money over several years and will divide $7.1 million equally.

Walking Dead Season 2 Release Date & Updates

2011-03-05T04:40:00.001-08:00

Robert Kirkman is busy promoting the DVD & Bluray release of Walking Dead which means we all win since he cant help but also talk about Walking Dead Season 2. First off we might as well address the question of when it will release. It was earlier rumored that it would make a summer release to help spread the peak ratings from AMC since they already get great ratings for FearFest. Robert Kirkman has confirmed that it wont be a summer release. AMC is heading for a fall release, likely in October for the 13 new episodes of Walking Dead Season 2.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly he also talked briefly about what we can expect from season 2 saying that it will again focus on the human dynamic with us seeing alot more of the Laurie and Andrea characters and playing up the drama between Rick and Shane which really came to a head in the final episodes.

Although Kirkman was not willing to discuss to much about the locations and plot of Season 2 he was willing to say that we will finally get to see Hershels’ farm which we speculated on already. As far as what is going on with the writing and directing Kirkman and Frank Darabonte are locked up working hard writing the scripts and as with last season Frank Darabonte will showcase his skills behind the camera directing again.

News:Chris Brown Leaked Photos
Chris Brown might want to think twice before taking and sharing his naked picture in the future. WorldStarHipHop has gotten its hand on a new image featuring the R&B singer posing in nothing but his birthday suit in a bathroom.

The unflattering image was taken by Brown herself with an iPhone and sent for sexting to one of his ex-girlfriends who then put it up on the internet. The photo is said to be a recent one since the "Crawl" singer sports his newly dyed platinum blond hair in the image.

Gay marriage dominates Mardi Gras

2011-03-05T04:33:00.000-08:00

THE Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras has kicked off, with the gay marriage theme dominating the parade.

In response to the Say Something campaign, 15 floats from groups including Amnesty International and Labor Faces for Marriage Equality are lobbying for same-sex marriage.

Thousands have lined Oxford Street for the 34th annual parade, with revellers maintaining their enthusiasm despite the cold winds and sporadic rain.

Brides and brides and grooms and grooms feature heavily in the parade in addition to cheerleaders, nuns, vampires and dancing Antoinettes.

Tony Abbott in Speedos and Julia Gillard in a wedding dress also talked equality through speech bubbles.

Up to 300,000 spectators from Australian and overseas are believed to have turned up for the celebrations, which snake up Oxford Street and into Flinders Street before finishing at Moore Park.

More than 1000 police were present to ensure everyone has not only a gay time but also a safe time.

Pop superstar Rihanna is rumoured to be turning up for celebrations after her concert at Acer Arena.

Meanwhile, a Sydney pastor will hold a vigil in the city's CBD calling for the Mardi Gras to be held in a stadium and calling for the government to hold a referendum on same-sex marriage.

Peter Madden, director of Heal Our Land Ministries, has organised the vigil to draw attention to what he calls "subversive" attempts by politicians and Mardi Gras participants to legalise same-sex marriage.

BIOGRAPHY:Barbara Graham

2011-02-27T14:00:00.000-08:00

Barbara Graham (June 26, 1923 – June 3, 1955) was an American criminal and convicted murderess. She was executed in the gas chamber on the same day as two convicted accomplices, Jack Santo and Emmett Perkins. Nicknamed "Bloody Babs" by the press, Graham was the third woman in California to die by gas.Graham was born Barbara Elaine Wood in Oakland, California. When Barbara was two, her mother, who was a teenager, was sent to reform school. Barbara was raised by strangers and extended family, and had a limited education. As a teenager, she was arrested for vagrancy and was sentenced to serve time at the same reform school where her mother had been.[1]

Released from reform school in 1939, Barbara tried to make a new start for herself. She married and enrolled in a business college and soon had her first child. The marriage was not a success, and by 1941 she was divorced. Over the next several years, she was married twice more and had a second child, but each of these attempts at a normal life failed.[2]

After this string of failures, Barbara is said to have become a prostitute, working for San Francisco's Sally Stanford. She was soon involved in drugs and gambling and had a number of friends who were ex-convicts and career criminals. In 1953, she married Henry Graham, with whom she had a third child, named Tommy.

Oscars 2011 Time: Red Carpet

2011-02-27T05:32:00.000-08:00

The Oscars 2011 time is quickly approaching. Many people are trying to get their plans for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards in place before the stars hit the red carpet tomorrow night at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

There are a couple of choices for red carpet coverage. Chris Harrington’s red carpet coverage for the Oscars 2011 will begin at 7 p.m. EST on the TV Guide channel. Also E! is covering the stars as they arrive at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards. Their Live From the Red Carpet show will begin at 6 p.m. as well with hosts Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic. It will actually be tough to decide which show to tune in to since they both promise to be great.

The awards show will begin at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. You can also tune in to the Oscars and the red carpet live with People.com.

With the first ever male/female co-host tea in James Franco and Anne Hathaway, the Oscar’s 2011 should prove to be an incredibly entertaining show. There is even a rumor that their opening bit was written by Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais.

Bayne stands NASCAR World

2011-02-20T17:09:00.000-08:00

Bayne became the first driver to win the Daytona 500 in his first attempt since Lee Petty won the inaugural event in 1959. By winning in his second start in NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series, Bayne tied Jamie McMurray for quickest victory at the start of a career.
In a war of attrition that set track records for lead changes (74), number of different leaders (22) and number of cautions (16), David Gilliland finished third after pushing Edwards toward the front on the final two laps. Bobby Labonte was fourth in his first race for JTG/Daugherty Racing, and Kurt Busch, last Saturday’s Budweiser Shootout winner, ran fifth.

Lady Gaga:Red Carpet Fashion at the Grammy Awards 2011

Lady Gaga was on the 53rd Annual Grammys red carpet, but her feet never actually reached it during her red carpet arrival. The Red Carpet portion of the show started to hustle when word of the famous celebrity Lady Gaga was almost to the front of the line to show off her fashion. Pins could be heard as the fashion guru had promised to make an entrance in spectacular Gaga – esque fashion. She arrived to the Grammy Awards 2011 in an egg.
We didn’t see her standing on her own two feet. She was in an egg, one that looked like Lady Gaga was in an egg hatching. The entertainer stunned everyone when she was stuffed in an ove-rsized egg. Carried by five individuals, all looking to be servants, they walked through the red carpet holding the life-size egg in the air. Seeing her face, skewed as she looked out as though she was trapped inside the egg, there was a poker face of sorts to be seen.
The Red Carpet moment was the first of many, but Lady Gaga was starting the evening anticipation for her ‘Born This Way’ premiere. Promising a performance on stage, the Grammys fun began on the red carpet as we all wondered how the stage presence would be different. Lady Gaga’s never even opened the egg and it still was still egg-centric. Who does fashion better than Gaga? Apparently no one as they have egg on their face.

Farmers Insurance Open: Bubba Watson Wins By One Shot Over Phil Mickelson

2011-01-30T18:03:00.000-08:00

BUBBA WATSON:

You know, that golf course is playing tough. With that rough like it is, you have to find fairways somehow. And somehow I think I found about seven, or I made a couple on the first cut. So it worked out to about nine fairways I think hit, so that's good over there, especially as narrow as it is.
And then I just had wedges. I just tried to kill my driver and have wedges in there as much as possible, and it worked out for me.

The first PGA TOUR event of the year featuring both Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson is done. And yet it's Bubba Watson who has claimed the Farmers Insurance Open.
Watson used his prodigious length off the tee to put himself in favorable positions all day — he used a pitching wedge for a second shot to the green on one par 5 — and birdied all four of the par 5s on the Torrey Pines course. He added two other birdies and a bogey for a five-under 67 in his final round.
Watson finished his round with a 16-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that moved him to 16 under 272 for the tournament and helped him stay ahead of Phil Mickelson, despite Mickelson finishing with a birdie to move to 15 under.
Watson, whose father died after a battle with throat cancer last year, teared up in a post-round interview while saying hello to his mother.
Dustin Johnson finished third, one shot back of Mickelson.
Rookie Jhonattan Vegas, who finished fourth, is now atop the FedEx Cup rankings after a strong early season. He is the first rookie to do so.

The Hurricane saves the Guardians

Fans at RBC Center were treated to a 10-minute laser-and-video show starring all 30 NHL Guardians during the second intermission of the 2011 All-Star Game presented by Discover.
Comics legend Stan Lee, who was the force behind The Guardian Project, introduced the sellout crowd to the Guardians and provided background into their history and super powers.
But things turned dangerous after the Guardians were unveiled, as the evil force out to destroy the Guardians known as Devin Dark interrupted and took control of the show. The Guardians appeared outside the arena on the big board, only to be sucked into the building by a devious device and trapped under the ice.
Fortunately for everyone involved The Hurricane, who received the biggest cheers, came to the rescue. He pulled the Guardians out of the ice to safety, seemingly bringing an end to the Guardian saga. It turns out it was just the beginning.
Devin Dark threatened revenge against the true leader of the Guardians, Mike Mason. His story line will be revealed in full as the story moves forward.

After a six week new episode layoff, NBC’s Chuck returns with a new episode.

Giants versus Vikings:Brandon Jacobs Gives New York 7-3 Lead

2010-12-13T18:40:00.000-08:00

Already over 100 yards on the ground, the New York Giants are employing the time-honored Tarvaris Jackson countermeasure: keep him off the field. RB Brandon Jacobs pounded in the first touchdown of the night from one yard out after a goal line stand that took about forever, involving a Tom Coughlin challenge of a non-touchdown and so forth.

Giants QB Eli Manning is a mere four-of-ten for 34 yards and two picks. He did nothing but hand off on this touchdown drive, perhaps a winning recipe for the Giants. Jacobs produced a 73-yard run down the sideline, a terrifying sight for any defensive back.

After stepping out for a moment, Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson has been on the field for all but one play. He's completed nine of 12 passes for 71 yards and bulled his way to a fourth-down conversion. The Giants have otherwise taken Minnesota's running game out of play, allowing only 1.8 yards per carry.

The Question need to be anwer:what channel is the vikings game on tonight?
Stadium officials in Minnesota may know by tonight whether the Metrodome’s collapsed roof can be repaired in time to host next week’s scheduled National Football League game between the Vikings and Chicago Bears.

JONESTOWN

2010-11-20T20:40:00.000-08:00

Today was the 32nd anniversary of the mass murder/suicide at the Jonestown cult compound in Guyana, & I had no designs to write about it. that is, until I read Tim Reiterman’s AP article about the anniversary. Reiterman engages in a blatant try to rehabilitate the Communist/Socialist child-murderers of Jonestown, writing that, over the years, public ceremonies honoring the Jonestown dead have become less controversial “as it became more widely accepted that they (the cult members) were idealistic people betrayed by temple pastor Jim Jones, who built an integrated church with a social message.”

“Widely accepted” that these mass-murderers were “idealistic people” with a “social message?”

By the left, of course. & that includes the left-leaning “mainstream” press. Because if there is one unbreakable rule in the leftist playbook, it is this: No matter how plenty of millions of people have died in the name of Communism & Socialism, the ideology & its honest adherents are seldom to blame. Communists/Socialists are wonderful idealists, & the ideology is workable & humane. But sadly, a few bad apples always misuse the ideology, & mass-death follows. So don’t blame the ideology, or its honest followers. Blame bad elderly Stalin, & evil elderly Pol Pot.

“Widely accepted?” By whom?

Needless to say, if this were true – if Communism/Socialism’s stupefying wake of mass death over the past 100 years had been caused by a “few bad apples” than by the ideology itself – it would mark the single greatest coincidence in recorded history. It would mean that in every Communist/Socialist state – the Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea, Cuba, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, the post-WWII Communist dictatorship in Poland, the post-WWI Communist dictatorship in Hungary, the post-WWII communist dictatorship in Hungary, the post-WWII communist dictatorship in Romania, Communist-occupied Ukraine, etc. etc. – a “few bad apples” coincidently decided, without being asked & not in any way influenced by the ideology they preached, that mass-murder & mass repression were the best ways to accomplish their goals.

Which of course is pure lunacy. as any ideology that preaches racial hatred & racial warfare (i.e. Nazism) will inevitably lead to racial violence, any ideology that preaches class hatred & class warfare will inevitably lead to class violence.

UFC 123 fight card

2010-11-20T19:36:00.000-08:00

Tonight UFC 123 will witness a thriller rematch between Matt Hughes and BJ Penn. Penn will step into the Octagon to re-establish his fame as the former champion. For Hughes it’s the third chance to prove his upper-hand over the king of ring.

UFC fans are impatiently waiting for this Co-Main Event that happens with the stunning return of BJ Penn. Each of them keeps equal power as both have experienced win and lose in their previous bouts. However, the pressure will be on Penn as he had lost the last two bouts with present middleweight champion Frankie Edgar.
UFC fans will get a do-or die match as Penn will try his best to regain his fame but Matt Hughes will try to use his wrestling to beat BJ for 3 rounds. Hughes will try to repeat his killer performance in the last 3 fights. Hughes had defeated Matt Serra, Renzo Gracie, and Ricardo Almeida recently.

Experts say BJ Penn will be able to stop a few of the takedowns from Hughes early in the fight. They believe that if Penn manage to control Matt on his back he should be able to win this fight. BJ comes to the cage after enough home work and can beat Hughes if he could act enough with his power.

Meanwhile, both fighters have declined the rumor of retirement. Penn had already refused any quit after his fatal defeat to Edgar. On the other hand Hughes also disclosed that "I think about retirement all the time, I've got four kids at home and a wife who likes to see me and other things to do."

printable pumpkin patterns

2010-10-30T16:30:00.000-07:00

There are many ideas for carving a Halloween pumpkin shopping. Some ideas include the likes of Ghost, spider, tree, elf, and Super Mario.

The ghost is easy for the dealer to start due to the simplistic design. Cutters can be used straight edges instead of swords to carve the pumpkin spider. Carvers can use many details to carve spooky tree design. The puck requires the use of additional materials for language and other details, and carving skills. Intermediate carvers must draw the design of super Mario, either in pencil or marker before cutting the face of Super Mario pumpkin.

In addition to selecting a pumpkin for carving, it is important to get the printed pattern, carving tools (knife, spoon, serrated knife, etc), candles and miscellaneous items to finish with the Halloween pumpkin. After the workshop is completed, the specially designed Halloween face is ready to rock.

Rally to Restore Sanity works

2010-10-30T15:46:00.000-07:00

The Rally to restore sanity drew tens of thousands of people to the National Mall in Washington, DC, and maybe a couple thousand Civic Center Park in Denver today.

What was, however, a liberal party? or a manifestation of what is reasonable? A little of both. Most people who spoke in Denver, and most of the signs waved towards the liberal bent, but when talking to people, many of them actually express a feeling something like this, "Why can not people disagree friendly discussions about it instead of yelling and drawing lines in the sand? "Dan Lee, who ran for Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper from last time and is already running to succeed him next time, said who wants to rule for doing the right thing. "If you take care of workers with a living wage, which will create good karma that will help transform the economy," he said.

An excerpt from USA Today, quoting Stewart:

So what exactly was this? I can’t control what people think this was, I can only tell you my intentions. This was not a rally to ridicule people of faith or people of activism, or to look down our noses at the heartland or passionate argument, or to suggest that times are not difficult and we have nothing to fear. They are and we do.

But we live now in hard times, not end times. And we can have animus and not be enemies. But unfortunately, one of our main tools in delineating the two broke. The country’s 24-hour politico-pundit- perpetual-panic conflictinator did not cause our problems, but its existence makes solving them that much harder.

The press can hold its magnifying glass up to our problems, bring them into focus, illuminating issues — or they can use that magnifying glass to light ants on fire, and then perhaps host a week of shows on the sudden unexpected dangerous flaming ant epidemic. If we amplify everything, we hear nothing. …

Not being able to distinguish between real racists and tea partiers, or real bigots and Juan Williams or Rick Sanchez, is an insult not only to those people, but to the racists themselves who have put in the exhausting effort it takes to hate. Just as the inability to distinguish terrorists from Muslims makes us less safe, not more. …

That being said, I feel strangely, calmly good, because the image of Americans that is reflected back to us by our political and media process is false. It is us through a funhouse mirror, and not the good kind that makes you look slim and maybe taller, but the kind that gives you a giant forehead and maybe an ass shaped like a month-old pumpkin. We hear every damn day about how fragile our country is, on the brink of disaster, torn by polarizing hate.

The Vampire Diaries is ostensibly about vampires, witches, werewolves and the teenagers who them, but it's quickly becoming clear that none of these monsters are as weird or crazy as the town of Mystic Falls itself. What kind of town is this?! There are only like two dozen people tops, 90% of them are teenagers, and everyone attends lavish town-wide parties basically every weekend. My hometown had a party too, it was called a county fair. What I'm trying to say is, maybe the monsters of Mystic Falls aren't the problem. THIS TOWN is the problem.
