Not as good as 2 Girls 1 Cup “reactions” but close. Darn close.

Tomorrow is Memorial Day, and thus we should take a moment to honor all those men and women who have died in service of our country. Not to be confused with Veterans’ Day, which is for all veterans. If you didn’t realize the distinction, you’re forgiven. The GMC and Anheuser-Busch ads that I’ve seen this [...]

I’m not quite sure how you speed in a Zamboni, but at least the gov can’t take this freedom away from us: You can’t be charged with driving drunk on a Zamboni in New Jersey. A judge ruled the 4-ton ice-cleaning machine isn’t a motor vehicle, in part because it’s not useable on a highway [...]

Good Tom Friedman column today. He’s right to say that there’s no need for our relationship with Iran to be as confrontational as it is. The more we keep antagonizing them, the harder we make the situation. This goes back at least as far as 1953, when the CIA overthrew their democratically elected president because [...]

It’s like John Locke come to life: Burning Man — the artsy, anarchic, nouveau-hippie, free-love, communal be-in — isn’t exactly living up to its ideals.

For Jere Smith and her husband, Don Lueders, the main thing is health insurance. Many small-business owners struggle with the [...]

All of the 75,000 Ford employees represented by the [...]

A statement from the president on Governor Richards’ passing: Ann loved Texas, and Texans loved her. As a public servant she earned respect and admiration. Ann became a national role model, and her charm, wit, and candor brought a refreshing vitality to public life. We extend our sympathies to Ann’s family and friends. Texas has [...]

Anheuser-Busch is basically saying what you were always thinking but couldn’t say out loud because for whatever reason people really like this swill — Rolling Rock is now part of the Anheuser-Busch family of beers: One small town in western Pennsylvania has long provided trivia buffs with two obscure questions that share an answer: Where [...]
