See what Lisa Rinna looks like without any makeup
She looks much better! Seriously, just a little foundation, and mascara, and maybe a little under-eye cream would do the trick… why go insanely crazy all the time?

Car crash victim trapped in 'coma' for 23 years was conscious
WOAH! This completely blows my mind – just think of the frustration he must’ve felt… and the boredom, just lying there year after year with no one having the slightest clue that he was there! Can you imagine if his family had decided to pull the plug when they thought there was no hope for him coming around? I’m all for unplugging and donating my organs if I’m truly brain-dead, but I think my new biggest fear is being 100% conscious with no way to communicate and hearing my family decide to pull my plug with no way to tell them I’m there… WOAH!

Dirty secrets of Black Friday doorbusters
I don’t see what their big beef is? Doesn’t everyone know there are hardly any of the good deals? That’s why they line up at 2am! Plus, it doesn’t make sense to keep writing in the article that stores have a “minimum of 5 per store” and then rant like it’s a bad thing… Dude, learn the difference between minimum and maximum!

Couple busted for refusing to pay tip
While I 100% empathize with this couple, it is common knowledge that gratuity is factored into bills for parties of 6 or more. They should’ve expected it. On that note, I do believe servers need to earn their tips, so the management should’ve been willing to give in on this one if they truly felt they did not receive adequate service. I understand the manager said they were busy. That can account for the food taking a long time, but not returning to refill drinks or stocking silverware is bad service, plain and simple…

10 shocking truths about allergies
Well, I am an oldest child, and I do have the most/worst allergies in our family, but I blamed it on Mom giving me peanut butter before I was even a year old…

Is "New Country" real Country?
I’m not even a country fan, but this George Jones guy, irked me… Perhaps he’ll be a little less cranky after a long nap, a Geritol, and some fresh Depends…

House passes health care bill on close vote
“A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi likened the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935…”
Because that didn’t totally screw half of us 70 years down the road… At the start, the principle behind the idea of SS wasn’t all bad… but it was paying out borrowed dollars from the beginning, then extended, misused, abused, and fundamentally misunderstood… But don’t worry, I don’t see anything like that helping with socialized nationalized health care…

A) Does he have to keep that as his name for the rest of his life?

The top 6 reasons kids have tantrums
I strongly dislike this articles reliance on rewarding children for stopping a tantrum or for not throwing on in the first place… Rewarding them for doing something they should’ve been doing anyhow? What’s wrong with just letting them cry themselves out on moving on? I think the author of this article just doesn’t have the patience to listen to petty crying…

Swine Flu theft: Truck filled with 800 H1N1 vaccines stolen from Milwaukee flu clinic site
“The person who stole the truck full of vaccines most likely has no idea what the truck actually contains.”
Yeah, until they read it online under “Breaking News!” What kind of stupid delivery person left the truck running with such valuable cargo inside? Brilliant…

Giant crack in Africa will create a new ocean
I thought this article was pretty interesting until I got to the end and it said it would happen a million years from now… who cares? Does anyone really think the Earth will still be around then?

Why Zoo Interchange project slowed to crawl
As much as I hate road construction and hated driving through the M-Change construction several times a week for grad school, seeing the amazing final result made the hassle well worth it… Seeing how bad and unsafe the Zoo Change is, and personally not feeling safe when I drive past sign after sign warning against heavy loads, this is one project that I would actually be in favor of funding through a tax hike, if it really had to come to that… That alone should tell you how badly this improvement is needed, because I hate taxes and bureaucracy, but this CANNOT wait until 2016, not to mention it wouldn’t even be completed until 2020! Something will collapse before then, I guarantee it!

Packers fans compare Brett Favre to Fredo, Judas, Benedict Arnold
I always knew he was nothing special… finally the Packer fans are starting to see him for what he really is: A neurotic drama queen! If only he’d gotten the spanking he deserved today… Though, with his now further inflated ego, perhaps the Vikings can use his big head as a hot air balloon to fly back to MN?
