The worst fears of dittoheads were confirmed today, when Rush Limbaugh confirmed rumors that he and Bill O’Reilly have been secret lovers for several years. Birds of a feather do indeed “flock together,” as it were. Whether this will forestall planned participation on next season’s “Dancing with the Stars,” is yet to be determined.

That’s what the guy on the radio said, promoting giving trick-or-treaters Trader Joe’s own brand of chicken broth in resealable containers. Can’t argue with that. I almost ran off the road laughing when I heard this ad yesterday while driving along Woodburn Road. He started out saying how “last year” it is giving pre-packaged Halloween [...]

Traveling through Texas on several occasions, it came to my attention that there is a serious shortage of porcelain conveniences in the Lone Star State.

The U.S. State Department warns Americans who plan on attending the Olympics in China to not hold any expectations about privacy in hotel rooms, residences or offices while in Beijing. Funny, I no longer have much expectation about privacy in hotel rooms (ask Eliot Spitzer about that), my house or elsewhere here in America either. With all the [...]

Wow, there’s nothing like a gun strapped to your hip to work up an appetite! I’m talking about Virginia’s own certifiable gun nuts who plan on bringing their guns to dinner in Northern Virginia restaurants on three Saturdays in April. Why?

In what turns out to be old news, we learn that Sonia Thomas, competitive eating champ from the DC Metro area thought better of taking on a 235-pound crabcake. The Guiness Book of Records people only just now confirmed that the giant seafood item, created in 2006, was the largest crabcake ever. Weighing in at nearly twice her [...]
