1. God Bless America
Just when you thought the general population couldn't get any dumber.. or perhaps just when you thought all the talk about just how stupid people are was blown out of proportion.. this little gem pops online from the AP.
God save us, more like it...
Speaking of which, got a chance over the weekend to watch my first full episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo -- I had only watched clips online before. In this particular episode, the family goes to the Annual Red Neck Games... just let your imagination run wild with that one for a minute, then check out this video.. it's even worse than you might have thought.

What would happen if The Dude became a Buddhist? Fear not, it's actually happened and Jeff Bridges wrote about it. Here's a review...
‘The Dude and the Zen Master’
By JEFF BRIDGES and BERNIE GLASSMAN
Reviewed by MARK OPPENHEIMER
“The Dude and the Zen Master” is an incomplete and spotty guide to Zen
philosophy, where sometimes the Dude-ism and the Buddhism mix in a
helpful way.
The authors Jeff Bridges, left, and Bernie Glassman, who use Mr. Bridges’s film “The Big Lebowski” as a philosophical guide.

Honestly, it sounds cool on paper, but the review kind of turned me off a
little bit. I think the reporter's trying to be too cute. Is it ok to
review a review? I'm sure the Zen Master would like that one.

Fed-up Jets fans are desperately trying to unload their personal seat licenses

EXCLUSIVE
Fed-up season-ticket holders are desperately trying to unload their PSLs, setting up a potential mass exodus of Jets fans that could become an even bigger challenge for the team than finding a new general manager.
The selling of PSLs — pricey licenses for the right to buy season tickets — were used by both the Jets and Giants to help fund construction of the $1.6 billion, 82,500-seat MetLife Stadium they share that opened in 2010.
But while Giants fans’ PSLs have gone up in value — their team did just win a Super Bowl last season — Jets fans have seen their investments fall shorter than a Sanchez pass.
Two bad: “This whole PSL process was a rip-off,” says Kenny Scarabaggio (above), a season-ticket holder since 1983.
“My feeling is there’s going to be a lot of PSL owners who default,” said Bill Koy Jr., 41, a Morristown, NJ, lawyer whose family has owned season tickets since 1965, when the Jets first drafted Joe Namath.
“As a lawyer, I’m really curious to see if the Jets would really take their fans to court because of the public-relations hit they’d receive and the costs of such litigation,” added Koy, who is not looking to default on his six mid-level PSLs.

Could the Jets actually sue their fans?!?! God I hope so...

Meantime... if the Pats somehow lose to Houston this weekend.. will it all be Shaugnessy's fault?
Arian Foster Changes Twitter Photo To Dan Shaughnessy’s Column, Which Blasts Texans
BOSTON (CBS) — The term “bulletin board material” takes on a whole new meaning in the age of social networking.Arian Foster apparently came across a column from Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe, and the Texans’ star running back was entertained enough by it to change his profile photo to a screenshot of the column.
“The 2012-13 New England Patriots just became the first team in NFL history to get back-to-back byes before advancing to the conference championship game. Could this get any easier?” the column reads in Foster’s avatar. “I mean, seriously? The planets are aligned and the tomato cans are in place. The fraudulent Houston Texans are the only team standing between the New England Patriots and a trip to the AFC Championship game. All the Patriots have to do is beat the terrible Texans. One week from today. At Gillette Stadium.”

Man Returns To Work After Vacation With Fresh, Reenergized Hatred For Job
EUGENE, OR—Arriving back at work after a two-week winter vacation, local marketing assistant Matthew Bueso told reporters Monday he was happy to return to the office with a fresh and rejuvenated loathing for his job. “It’s always nice to get away for a few weeks, clear my head, and come back invigorated with a newfound disgust for my place of employment and the various responsibilities of my thoroughly depressing job,” said Bueso, 38.
