Something really disturbing happened to me on Facebook today. Deep down I'm hoping there's a complicated, techy, and completely legitimate explanation for it, but I'm fearing the worst. First, an explanation. Many of you know I have what's called a "fan page" for World's Worst Moms. Fan pages are different than personal pages. When I [...]

So Saturday, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch. Little background -- we usually go to a pumpkin patch in town, but this year, we thought we'd try out a newish place on the outskirts that our daughter went to on a class trip. It's owned by a family who live on their farm, [...]

Sometimes when I hear all the political rhetoric flying around, I think there's no way it could actually reflect your average guy on the street. It's just too...crazy. Clearly all of the nuts we're seeing on TV are just the loud, proud radicals who get their voices heard because it's interesting. But as it turns [...]

Dear Boy Scouts of America, I'd just like to thank you for finalizing the deal on the whole, "We hate gay people" thing. I appreciate you being so -- in Boy Scouty terms -- "forthright" about it and coming straight out with your bigotry instead of continuing to hide behind some excuse about "Needing to [...]

I just heard on the news (granted it was local news, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt) that two-thirds of Americans want to do away with the Affordable Care Act. I'm guessing this is probably inaccurate because if you break down the parts of "Obamacare" for people and then ask them about [...]

And I wonder why I'm never hungry.So you've probably already heard about this, but if you haven't, I'll just go ahead and be the bearer of bad news. You know all that canned food you bought to get through the apocalypse? Or maybe just so you could make a quick lunch when you forgot it [...]

The "Scream" TreeSo for about the last 14 hours or so, all I've heard is crap. And I'm just so done. So, so done.There comes a point where you start to wonder if there are any decent, reasonable people left in the world. If anyone's thinking about their actions and how they'll affect other people. [...]

I got really angry today. Really, really angry. I was like a big ball of rage that was ready to blow up all over everybody, and I basically had to send myself to my room and hyperventilate to keep from strangling someone. Why?Valentine's cards.The kids' school requires them to make all of their own Valentine's [...]

I had a professor in grad school who was the most hardcore, old-school journalist I've ever met. I was terrified to walk into this guy's class with the possibility of not having one of my facts straight. I'd make source phone calls on a story until businesses shut down for the evening. And I'd consistently [...]
