It looks like in the end, Richard Fliehr couldn’t distinguish himself from Ric Flair. It’s hard to keep up with the amount of money he owes while reading through this. Rick Flair is a microcosm of America over the last 40 years. He spent years living beyond his means and the bill finally came due.

Well done. I don’t know how much value I’d put on a blog network full of pointless lists, but the people in this slide show think they have a good idea.

I’m not really sure how I feel about this. I know there’s a need to actively collect intelligence, but this is unfairly targeting innocent people. In times of war, there’s always been a give and take between security and individual rights. Usually, the rights of individuals are ceded for the sake of security. It’s happened in pretty much every single war in...
Man, words can’t describe the sunset tonight over Manhattan but I’ll try. When the sun sets during the summer, usually the light reflects off of the buildings on the west side of Manhattan in yellow and orange. Tonight it was a bright shade of purple and orange. If I had my camera on me, I would of taken a bunch of pictures. I was running though, so I’ll just keep the image...
Will the Middle Class Survive? →
This article is depressing in so many ways. In short, the recession has left the most wealthy in better position than they were before. The have-nots are bearing the brunt of the recession and there’s no end in sight. What makes it worse is that the people that should most be outraged about this inequality are supporting the people that are exploiting it for gain. Instead of attacking the...

Looking back- what a class. Here are 5 instances that forever changed Penn hills:
Chazz cox versus Jeff Lennox: Does anyone else remember when this went down? This was the equivalent of the civil rights movement for whites. That should be the new Marting Luther King Jr. day for you guys. The air…

Comedy Time Capsule 1998 →
I came across this article while reading the Masked Man’s write up about Mitch Hedberg on Deadspin. While it’s interesting to see what happened to these comics (mostly nothing), I thought one line was ridiculous enough to invalidate the whole piece.
“The art of telling jokes died with the comedy glut of the ’80s, and in its place has grown not the rarefied, ...
The Philosophy of Louis CK →
Take a look at this great article on Splitsider about the roots of Louis CK’s comedy. It digs a bit deeper than Chuck Klosterman’s take on Louis CK, but it’s very interesting. It’s not every day you see a modern comedian being compared to Sisyphus.
“Important though, and a big explanation as to how he can actually make these things funny, is that he’s not...
A #humblebrag for the ages
I saw this on my facebook feed last night after the Eagles signed Steve Smith:
“Eff you giants…anybody want 2 psl’s”
Go and look up how much PSL’s cost at the Meadowlands

The market dropped over 500 points today. Tomorrow’s job report is a make or break for the economy. If it comes in lower than expectations, then we’re in for another recession. Every trader on Wall Street is ready to sell if that number isn’t right. I’d love to be an optimist and think that it’s going to be good and everything will rebound, but every bit of...
