MacBook in hand, I switch on the BoobTube.

T-t-t-touch me! I want to feel healthy!
Could it be true? Do touch sluts have more fun? According to a bunch of brainy geeks in a lab somewhere, we’re all much happier if we get felt up.

Hmmm… I think I’ve stumbled upon “Plan B”
Everything you’ll ever need to know, you can learn on the internet, and I think I’ve just stumbled upon a brilliant option.

If a loved one, a husband, wife, partner, or child, was gravely ill and in pain, would you help them slip gently into that good night? The debate over euthanasia was stirred up further when a well know documentary maker in the UK admitted to the act on national TV. A crime in Britain, as [...]
You can’t use the Olympics to escape reality.
Like so many today, if you thought you could use the Olympics as a means to forget about your daily problems, lay offs, foreclosures, etc… you may be in for a rude awakening. One of the Whistler resorts hosting the skiing events, may be foreclosed on right smack in the middle of the Olympics. Yikes! [...]
