    Say hi to Lucy. Lucy is part of Generation Y, the generation born between the late 1970s and the mid 1990s. She's also part of a yuppie culture that makes up a large portion of Gen Y. I have a term for yuppies in the Gen Y age group—I call them Gen Y Protagonists & Special Yuppies, or GYPSYs. A GYPSY is a unique brand of yuppie, one who thinks they are the main character of a very special story. So Lucy's enjoying her GYPSY life, and she's very pleased to be Lucy. Only issue is this one thing: Lucy's...

    Squirrels are working White house garden while Michelle’s gardeners will get paid for doing nothing. House gardeners are allowed only to water the plots and cannot harvest the vegetables. Park Service gardeners who normally tend the mushrooms, peppers, squash and other tasty items have only been permitted to water the plants. Under the peculiar rules in effect, they are not allowed to rake or weed or even mow the grass. Pounds and pounds of ripe organic bounty have gone to waste. Weeds are springing up

    mosin-nagant The Mosin-nagant is an old school bolt action rifle from Russia. Originally designed by a drunk Russian engineer and an even more drunk Belgian gunsmith, who drew up blueprints on napkins in the back of a pub somewhere in Siberia in a vodka-induced stupor. The Mosin-nagant fires the 7.62x54r cartridge, which can kill a polar bear at a thousand yards and keep going right through the tree he was standing in front of. The Mosin-nagant was used by the Russians in both world wars, so it's killed more Germans than collisions on the autobahn and under-cooked sauerkraut combined. Surplus...

    The Won March Most of us have heard the tune "Colonel Bogey March," though we are probably most familiar with it as the tune whistled by the POW's in the movie "The Bridge on the River Kwai," and called "The River Kwai March." A variant of the song was famously used mockingly towards Adolph Hitler, titled "Hitler Has Only Got One Ball." I think the Barry-Cades marchers should start mocking "The Won" using this tune. It'll stick in his evil gizzard like a hot nail. I propose a lyrics contest for the tune "The Won March." Here are my two...

Among the committee members who have been appointed to select the four semifinalists for the 2014 season is former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice. Immediately, there came protests that Rice is unqualified, but then, what qualifications are there, really? If the idea is to make sure that the best team gets a shot at the national championship, then just about any fan...

    The latest in New York City dining? Eating in silence. A restaurant in Brooklyn's trendy Greenpoint neighborhood is serving up a four-course meal of organic, locally-sourced food, but isn't allowing any chit-chat. 'Eat' restaurant chef Nicholas Nauman says he was inspired to put on the occasional 'No Talking' affairs after spending time with Buddhist monks in India. He says the silence allows customers a chance to better experience the food. The restaurant's Facebook page says seats fill up fast at the no talking meals. It costs $40 for 4 courses.

    We on the right side of history often feel the need to take a shower after wading through the swamp of politically correct double-speak. Euphemisms often provide a bright, shiny, antiseptic-look and feel to many issues, hiding it's putrid underside. Phrases like "pro-choice", affirmative action", "affordable care" and now "clean bill"; what reasonable person could be against these wonderful ideas? Obviously only right-wings cretins, bent on their "war on women" and against "sustainable living". But given it is de rigueur du jour, I would really like to focus on "clean bill".

Encouraged by the response, the committee makes plans to replace the machine. They conduct another poll asking...

    "There's a difference between a ghetto car repair and a geniusly ghetto car repair. With a ghetto car repair, there's no passion, no creativity. It's like using duct tape to reattach a bumper or putting saran wrap over a broken window. A geniusly ghetto car repair is different. It's an artistic approach to avoiding paying for a car repair or upgrade. It's finding a solution to an automotive problem using stuff from around the house. The results aren't elegant but they're clever. It's MacGyver meets Rube Goldberg meets People of Walmart. I picked 11 of my favorite photos that fall...

    President Obama has been playing golf at a furious pace this year – already heading out more times than during any year of his presidency – but the government shutdown raises the prospect that his favorite leisure activity is about to be suspended. It’s unclear how a presidential golf outing could be justified as “essential,” which is the general standard for government activities that continue during the shutdown. When Obama is in Washington, he plays at one of two publicly funded courses – either the links at Andrews Air Force Base or at Fort Belvoir. His rounds are paid for...

Arizona State vs. Notre Dame The 3-1 Sun Devils stuck a fork in USC coach Lane Kiffin in a 62-41 runaway. Quarterback Taylor Kelly led the team in rushing with 79 yards on four carries, while also passing for 351 yards and three TDs.

USC finally tired of Lane Kiffin’s poor results and abrasive personality during his fourth season with the Trojans. The only reason Kiffin’s record at Southern Cal was as good as 28-15 was that he was fortunate enough to inherit QB Matt Barkley from his predecessor, Pete Carroll. It’s not just that Kiffin has only gone 10-8 since the start of the 2012 season, but the fact that...

Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations." - "How much is everyone giving, on an average?" the driver asks.
