Remember when you were little and your coaches and parents told you that in order to be a great athlete you had to “practice, practice, practice,” take care of your body and eat well? Well apparently, those were all lies and all that you really need is some sugar. Yep, it’s the sugar [...]

The Democratic Convention is upon us, beginning what will be two weeks of nonstop political coverage aiming to help us differentiate the Democrats from the Republicans.

I passed this McDonald’s advertisement on the street yesterday, and was thoroughly perplexed.

Every egg dreams of becoming a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich? Really? That’s funny, I would have thought every egg’s dream would be to become a chicken… but then what do I know, I’m not an egg.

Ok, I’m just gonna come out and say it: I cannot stand Rachael Ray. This woman is so saccharine, fake and cloyingly annoying! It truly amazes me that anyone watches her for more than 30 seconds. How did a woman who has no real kitchen experience become America’s “go to girl” for [...]
