It’s tough to get people excited about midterm elections.  I live in a state that had a couple of seats up for grabs, yet I was never really thrilled about the prospect that I got to choose who would next be representing my great state in the United States Congress.  Even in a battleground, Tea Party state, in which Rand Paul bested both the Republican nominee in the primary and the Democrat candidate in the general election, the 2010 midterm elections were more annoying than interesting.  Still, the Obama backlash is in full effect throughout the country as Republicans gained a plethora of formerly Democratic seats in Congress.

Among the more saddening results were the defeat of Linda McMahon, wife of WWE head honcho Vince McMahon, in the Senate race in Connecticut.  Not that I know anything about Linda’s politics, or even care about her state, but there’s no doubt Linda McMahon would’ve been a much more interesting Senator than whoever she was running against, if only because she’d be able to bring Hulk Hogan on board as an office aide to intimidate other Congressmen into voting her way.  Also losing out was Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party in the New York Governor’s race (which was won by Andrew Cuomo).

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
