UPS and the Case of the Calamitous Customer Service Snafu
I was an eager pre-order customer for Apple’s iPhone 5. The minute it was possible I was on the Apple website, happily ordering the new technology (thankfully I was due for an upgrade) and everything was going according to plan. Then UPS happened.

Apartment Hunting in NYC… and Scams
I am in the midst of an apartment search again. It is truly the bane of my existence because it takes up every second of life. In other parts of the country you can stop in to a complex, see a demo unit, sign a lease for something 6-months or more down the road and…

Paranormal State’s Ryan Buell Undergoing Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

The “Is Homosexuality Sinful?” Flow Chart… and Comments
I saw this floating around Facebook and enjoyed it too much not to share it as well. There is a sad debate on the One Million Vaginas Facebook page where I found the image.

“Save the children! Cartoons are getting gay married!” – NOM
Ok, they didn’t put it exactly that way but that’s essentially what today’s post from the National Organization for Marriage protests. The headline they use actually continues the laughable use of sanctity, as if anything their organization does could claim to carry the torch of sanctity. Brian Brown is even more disgusted that the Midtown…

Bristol Palin – Delusional Like Her Mother
Bristol Palin has decreed that President Obama is a bad parent and poor leader because he “made a massive change in a policy position that could affect the entire nation after consulting with his teenage daughters”.
