While I’m as prone to lamenting Paris Hilton stories on CNN as much as the next gal, there’s something kind of hilarious in people’s pearl-clutching over the vapidity of

A (rather large) break from blogging about the 21st Century …
I’m researching first ladies this week at work. If I were going to, you know, travel back in time somehow and be friends with any of them, Dolley Madison is totally my first pick. She was the Lindsay Lohan of the early 1800s. She [...]

Wow, this is creepy: Tiny Pocket People makes mini-dolls with your loved one’s (or stalkee’s, I suppose) face. Tiny Pocket People? Couldn’t they at least have come up with a less totally-frightening name?

When Microsoft rolled out the term “squirting” for wifi sharing between Zunes, I started calling it the Dirty Sanchez. Now, it looks like it’s not even that. It’s a constipated Dirty Sanchez. The metaphor could continue, but I think you’ve got the idea.

In doing some lexis-nexis research on a completely unrelated topic, I came across this November op-ed from Bill Mayer in the Boston Globe, “A re-look-see at the Constitution.” Maybe I just like any mention of pirates, but I found it pretty damn funny:
