Barbie's Still Got It

Actually, this one seems a lot more fun.

I got her about 13 years ago, just as her Lori Davis infomercial days were winding down and everyone was whirling around their living rooms to 'Believe.' What's she up to now?

Here's the link to her website- http://www.cher.com/ but let's not forget Vegas, baby.

And don't forget to follow her on Twitter. Girl speaks her mind, but what else would you expect?

R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens

What to say about an incredibly courageous man with one of the most wickedly brilliant minds in all of journalism? This is the guy that toured the country espousing his anti-theist views and was surprised that, instead of a lynching, he was heaped with praise from fellow non-believers. This is the guy that had no problem turning his back on a movement, like socialism, when it lost it's moral compass. This is the guy that willfully got waterboarded to prove that it was torture when none of the defenders of waterboarding had the guts to do it, and he was 59!

He wrote for The Nation and Vanity Fair. No topic was taboo for him and he even allowed Graydon Carter to assign him a series of de-stressing spa visits when the truth is, he would rather be anywhere else. After all, Hitchens has been eating stress for breakfast since the Vietnam War, along with Johnny Walker Black by his side. He thrived on it.

Another great Lion is gone. He succombed to esophageal cancer at the age of 62, and I will miss his articles terribly.

Link to Vanity Fair which has a ton of tributes to him today-

Happy Pi Day!

Today is march 14th, 3.14, and because of that a bunch of nerds got together and declared it National Pi Day. Making the geekitude more complete is the fact that it is also Albert Einstein's birthday. Elizabeth Landau wrote an ode to Pi based on Don McClean's song American Pie. Here are some of the lyrics with a link to the rest of the song:

CHORUS:So why, why can’t I calculate pi

I just want to see the numbers 3.1415

And if that’s all, then let’s keep it alive

‘Cause my calculator seems to have died.

My calculator seems to have died.

Did you write the law of sines, or draw two perfect parallel lines

Without a ruler helping you?

Can you still use a protractor, or find just one imaginary factor

Of a polynomial of order 2?

Well I had a TI-83 when a great misfortune came to me

The screen began to blur — I couldn’t even find my curve!

I was a lonely teenage computer freak,

My pencils were chewed but my glasses were sleek,

And the future was looking pretty bleak

The day my calculator died.

Ovechkin is Insane

If he were my friend I would have jumped him so fast and knocked out a few of his remaining teeth.
Yeah, right.
Anyhoo, here's the death wish video where he almost decapitates himself and Mike green.

I Guess You've Got To Do Something When Your Team Sucks

The rideable Browns couch, another great gift idea!

A Better Place

Check out this website that is amazingly forward thinking on solving energy problems. Read everything, it's fascinating what can be done if a country thinks outside the box, for instance, Denmark. They get 18% of their electricity from turbines. Here in Cleveland, we have one. With the wind that comes off of Lake Erie, it would be smart to have a couple hundred more.

The electric car plan works like a cell phone plan where you buy miles like you would buy minutes, buy a few at a time or unlimited. And the car battery is free! Genius.

Read their business model and see the future.

Dey Shore Do Make 'em Smart Down Thar

Miss Louisiana Teen USA decided she wanted to go out for a meal with a couple of pals the other night. Then she decided she didn't want to pay for the meal. Then she decided to forget her purse in said restaurant which she went back to get, at which time I assume she decided to get arrested since she had already decided to put some weed in her purse before she left home.

Just a day of bad decisions, y'all.
