Two and a Half Douches
It’s official: I’d rather spend two weeks trapped in an elevator with Charlie Sheen (one douche) than two minutes trapped in conversation with Chuck Lorre (douche and a half). The Two and a Half Men creator finally “responds” to Sheen’s recent outbursts, and the result is OH MY GOD ONE MILLION AND A HALF BAAAAAAAAAAARRRFFS: […]

This Could Eat Up the Rest of Your Day
The Chicago Tribune has a photo gallery of mug shots, each with the corresponding charge and a link to the article about what the person allegedly did. There are a lot of little stories to be mined here. I feel alternately amused, depressed, and plagued-by-the-night-terrors. Enjoy!
