Today’s Forecast: Sunny, With A Chance Of Extreme Nostalgia
Warning, Children of the 80’s: You have roughly 30 minutes of fond remembrances ahead of you in the form of the intros to just about every 80’s cartoon series:
When Existing Words Just Won’t Suffice
The news media’s behavior in regards to Anna Nicole Smith’s death and the ensuing court battles has been nothing short of disgusting in my opinion. CNN Headline News, for instance, covers the hearings from open to close each day, breaking…
