He might not just be the craziest weatherman ever, he might be the craziest person ever.

Check out this weatherman in Baltimore - I can’t remember his name because I got scared – telling the community a blizzard is coming. I live on the West Coast, and I was ready to go shelter-in-place somewhere. Thank God my stepdaughter – who has some weather-related phobias – hasn’t seen this. It would sent her into hysterics.

Before watching the clip, I recommend you turn down the volume. He seems calm at first, but that’s an illusion. It gets frightening.

My 19-month-old daughter has a cute habit of applauding when she likes something. And when she hears others applaud. Which is really great … unless she happens to be sitting with you while you’re watching the State of the Union. Read the rest of this entry »

As you probably know, there was this guy on American idol last week who came in and basically sang a song about how he hates kids who wear their pants too low. “Pants on the Ground,” it was called, and now it’s a sensation all over YouTube, with dozens and dozens of parodies, including an Elvis impersonator and Jimmy Fallon doing Neil Young..

I won’t say I hope Rush Limbaugh’s house vaporizes in the next big earthquake, and he spends three days sleeping and shivering in the street, drinking foul gutter water while waiting for government-funded rescue. Read the rest of this entry »

It was actually Satan. And the French.

Televangelist Pat Robertson said Wednesday on his Christian Broadcast Network that the earthquake in Haiti that has killed thousands happened because they made a pact with the devil. Read the rest of this entry »
