Sorry, Mom...I just couldn't resist
Mom: I tried that VitaminWater for people over 50 the other day.
Me: You mean Formula 50?
Mom: Yeah.
Me: That's not for people over 50, it's called that because it has 50% of all the daily vitamins you need. It's endorsed by 50 Cent.
Mom: No!
Me: Yes!
Mom: Oh. And don't you blog about this!
Sarah Palin is NOT the Mother →
Daily Kos has a very detailed and convincing argument saying that Sarah Palin’s baby Trig was actually born to her 17-year-old daughter Bristol. I believe it…there is no way she was seven months pregnant in this photo, when this is what she looked like when she was pregnant with one of her other children.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. This is the reason most young adults in Europe don’t usually binge drink. When something’s not prohibited, it’s much less exciting.

Why Republican VP pick Sarah Palin is bad:

She thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.
She doesn’t believe global warming is caused by humans.
She hates polar bears.
She doesn’t want gay people to get married, or even get health benefits for...

Party politics trumps Cupid →
Very interesting election-related relationships article. I am a moderate Democrat who definitely gets a lot of crap for having a tendency to date moderate Republicans.

Dealbreaker: The Super Religious Guy →
My lovely, smart and talented friend Jocelyn wrote this great essay on The Frisky. When her book finally comes out, I hope I’ll get a signed copy, because I’m one of her biggest fans!
Now I just have to think of a witty phrase
Did you know that Someecards created a new application that lets you create your own custom e-cards? Now I don’t have to do it myself in Photoshop!

Gwen Stefani gives birth to second child →
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale named their new son Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. Poor kid. At least Kingston got an offbeat-but-still-relatively-normal name.

Uhhh, is this a joke? Go to CondomCondom.org to hear the lovely tune. I don’t see how this could possibly make people want to have safer sex…probably not the best example of mobile marketing.
