This is one of the most important pieces I’ve ever read, encapsulating just about everything I believe, and written by a roller derby friend of mine. Please take a few minutes to read this and let yourself think.

As Baltimore clears its streets, the residents...

The city of Baltimore is still recovering from last weekend’s crippling 26-to-30-inch snowstorm (with another 10 to 20 inches of snow arriving this afternoon), and there’s understandably a lot of talk about how well the city has handled the job of clearing its streets of snow and ice.

Baltimore Sun: City filled police cars with the... →

This is too unbelievable to make up. Breaking news from The Baltimore Sun: Anthony Guglielmi, the chief spokesman for the Police Department, said at least 60 patrol cars — or roughly a third of the patrol cars in service at any given time — broke down after the drivers unwittingly filled up with the wrong type of fuel. Guglielmi said there had been a pump error, with unleaded...

Okay, I’m convinced…Kanye West really is sorry about what he did. After seeing his brief, unscheduled and seemingly emotional appearance on The Jay Leno Show the night after the MTV Video Music Awards, I’m convinced that Kanye knows that he made a huge mistake and that his reputation is paying the price for it. If for some reason you still haven’t seen the incident that...

In 1968, year I was born, McDonald’s rolled out a new burger called the Big Mac. Then, last month, Carl’s Jr. felt that McDonald’s new Angus Third Pounders were a cheap imitation of their signature “Six Dollar Burgers” (which aren’t really six dollars; Carl’s just claims they’re a six-dollar value), so they fired back with the Big...

Baconnaise: A Survey and a Love Story

Today, J&D’s Foods, the makers of Bacon Salt and Baconnaise, posted a customer service survey to get some opinions and feedback from their customers in order to gauge what they’ve done and where they should go from here, dangling a $100 gift card as a carrot for one lucky entrant. Whether or not you’ve tried any of their products, you should take a moment to share your...
