I first heard about this story earlier in the week, and was waiting for the dust to settle a little to try to discern what exactly had happened and why. Now I think I know. And though this might cause me to start by day off by giving up my Post Toasties to the porcelain […]

Tonight (Sunday) the joke that is the Academy of Country Music awards will be going down in Las Vegas. Place your bets that this show will SUCK, and I guarantee it will pay off in spades. I was going to write at length of why the ACM’s are a sham of the highest order, but […]

The It Burns When I Pee Podcast needs help people. No, I’m not talking about castration, a flea dip, and electro-shock therapy (though Jeebus knows they could use this as well.)
