House of the Day: Bayside Beauty in Baltimore {AOL Real Estate}
Jan 30th 2012 3:06PM Why would ANYONE with $8.5 million to spend on a house want to live in Baltimore? For a fraction of that amount you could move to Europe and leave the crime ridden streets of the USA behind.
Smartphones now make it possible for airport travelers to have food delivered to their departure gate {Gadling}
Oct 9th 2011 2:27PM John - you don't get it. The food is from restaurants that are ALREADY LOCATED BEHIND THE SECURITY CHECK POINT. They simply walk the food over to where you are sitting next to your gate - typically from only a very short distance.
The Search for Kuwaiti Cuisine ... in Kuwait {Gadling}
Oct 3rd 2011 6:45AM Yeah, show us the Muslim hell holes of the world, America - that'll make you feel better about yourself. Where are the news stories showing ALL of the nations that are SO MUCH nicer and more free than America today? That's censored from Americans, just like Soviet Russia censored the outside world to Russians during the Cold War. PLAIN TRUTH - in my many years now as an expat American, I have yet to meet EVEN ONE other expat who would EVER go back to the USA.
TV Tells Kids Fame is the Most Important Thing in Life, Study Finds {ParentDish}
Jul 16th 2011 8:51AM Instead of blaming the media, which is REAL convenient, I realize, how about blaming the fact that these days both parents have full time jobs - and THEN some - just to pay the cost of living. Go back 50 years and most households had a working father and a stay-at-home mom who could actually take interest in her children. The "wonderful" advent of the women's liberation movement effectively doubled the workforce, enabling companies to get two employees for the price of one, with the blessing of the gullible American public for doing the right thing and hiring women. That's not to say that women should not be allowed to work, but when the social order changed so that women were EXPECTED to work, the raising of children became something passed off to daycare centers and elderly relatives who are not up to the task. The media is simply giving people what they want. If the ratings were super high on educational shows, believe me, that's what you would be seeing 24 hours a day.
'Green Mile' Actor Doug Hutchison, 51, Marries Aspiring Singer, 16 {PopEater}
Jun 20th 2011 5:31PM NEWSFLASH: He's got a lot of money and he can do whatever he wants. That's how the world works. By the way, the age of consent in Germany is 12 with permission. It used to be as young as 10 years old in some ultra-Catholic countries, but I don't know if that's still true.
'Dance' Judge Mary Murphy Tells of More Arnold Womanizing {PopEater}
Jun 10th 2011 7:18AM Sounds more like it was Lady Gaga you were watching.
'Dance' Judge Mary Murphy Tells of More Arnold Womanizing {PopEater}
Jun 10th 2011 7:16AM How many makeup artists do you suppose Arnold has?
Snack Food Fails: Weird food names around the world {Gadling}
May 29th 2011 6:13AM These are nothing compared to my personal favorites, namely "Crack!" a brand of potato chips with a cartoon-ized black rapper as the logo, and "Cunt Bang", a cleaning product - both marketed in eastern Europe.
Brooke Shields' Big Necklace at The Ballet: Love It or Leave It? (Photos, Poll) {Stylelist}
May 13th 2011 4:29AM Sad, but true. Brooke lost her looks in Biblical proportions back when she was in her early 20's. She went from looking like an angel to looking like a bad drag queen in the span of just a couple of years.
Business Travel Linked to Obesity {AOL Small Business}
May 10th 2011 8:07PM BA - try ACTUALLY doing what I said - go look at the weight of people lined up at McDonalds or Burger King, and then go look at the people eating in a high quality restaurant. DO IT if you don't believe me. Cooking for yourself at home is NOT the issue, and has nothing to do with what I said. I'm talking about EATING OUT WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING - which is what the article is about. Sure, there are some obese CEO's, but I have yet to see one that looks ANYTHING like the 600 pound blobs of human lard that ride electric wheelchairs because they long since lost the ability to carry their own bulk. THAT kind of weight is the end result of a steady diet of American fast food. You don't see people like that in other countries, but in the US half of the parking lot of every store has to have a dozen or two special parking places for them all.
