The weather outside is frightful, and hopefully you have a fire that’s so delightful.  If you’re on the Eastern seaboard of the United States, you know firsthand just how frightful the weather can be, because you’re right in the middle of a serious weather event.  The East Coast of the United States is being attacked by a blizzard as we speak, which has stranded air travelers throughout the country and provided extended Christmas vacations for others.  It’s a full-fledged French Toast Alert out there!

“Unfortunately, our city is directly in the path,” said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Sunday afternoon.  “It’s hard to stand up in a 55-mph wind, so this really is dangerous.”  Bloomberg advised people needing to travel to take mass transit and stay off the roads; New York City is under a blizzard warning until 6 PM today.

To illustrate how bad things are in New York City, all three of the city’s airports have closed.  LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark airports are all shut down.  American Airlines has cancelled a total of 433 flights, and more might be on the way if weather conditions do not improve.  In Philadelphia, where storms have dumped nearly two feet of snow, an NFL game was postponed to avoid the blizzard conditions, not long after a different snow storm collapsed the roof of the Metrodome.  Yeesh.

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.
