A lot of my friends are either in law school or already attorneys. Naturally, I like none of them, because, well, they are lawyers. If you believe this Op Ed from the LA Times, we could all go with a few less attorneys in our lives. Unless, of course, you were a attorney headhunter in [...]

I haven’t gotten a good Fox News bashing in lately. O’Reilly makes my job easy today:
‘We Can’t Kill All The Muslims… So We Wanna Win As Many Hearts And Minds As We Can’
Really, Bill? That’s what you’re going with?
I don’t even know where to begin with that, so I won’t.
And that doesn’t even include [...]

The other day, I shared with you Google’s new music search function. In an never-ending effort to improve the quality of your life, I bring you two more ways Google can make your life better. The first is tangible. The second is just interesting/thought-provoking.
1) You can set up your regular voicemail through Google Voice:
It sounds [...]

…and the only prescription is more cowbell.
Christopher Walken is a seriously good actor. His style also lends itself great to deadpan humor. The cowbell skit is one of my favorite SNL moments of all time. However, Walken reading Lady Gaga’s absolutely horrendous Poker Face song is up there too:
And yes, I actually do have a [...]

[Editorial Note: I'm late getting ready for my weekend trip in Chicago, so I don't have time to edit, proofread, insert links, or, most importantly, censor this article for Wernick. But I must admit, I watched the first six innings of the World Series game last night, and despite the fact that I want nothing [...]

I never thought I’d read a story that started with “[a] bear on ice skates…”, but:
A bear on ice skates attacked two people during rehearsals at a circus in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, killing one of them, Kyrgyz officials said Friday.
In the incident, which happened Thursday, the 5-year-old animal killed the circus administrator, Dmitry [...]

Obama is finally good for something after all: helping my golf game.
Thanks to an IRS ruling that golf carts, as long as they are road worthy (side-view mirrors, seat belts, etc.), can qualify for the electric vehicle rebate up to $5500.
The federal credit provides from $4,200 to $5,500 for the purchase of an electric vehicle, [...]

The credit goes to Sweisen’s facebook post for bringing this to my attention.
Baby is in stroller at a train station in Australia. Mom’s attention is taken away from the baby for a moment. Stroller rolls off the platform and onto the train tracks. Train comes through the station about 3 seconds later. Train runs over [...]

[Editorial Note: Another historic day on The Great Wahl. Running a blog can get tiresome, so it helps to have some...help. BJones was the first guest writer I had last week, writing a college football preview. Now, Wernick is jumping on the bandwagon and wants to use my soapbox here to promote his wonderful little [...]

Here’s the fact of the day from a Michigan State graduate student’s study:
Our estimates imply that every death of a helmetless motorcyclist prevents or delays as many as 0.33 deaths among individuals on organ transplant waiting lists.
When a state repeals their helmet laws for motorcyclists, organ donation increases by 10%. Basically, stupid young men (men [...]
