1. When was he in Congress?

2. I had no idea Patrick Kennedy was in West Virginia.

3. As Dave Barry once said, some people's handicap is that they're jerks.

4. Great use of our tax dollars. A related study found women eat less after the holidays.

5. Study conducted at the Neverland Ranch.

6. Voting held at the Neverland Ranch.

7. Mark it down: Jessica Alba's career will tank the moment she appears in Playboy, because then there will be no reason to watch her.

8. Great Britain also facing a dentist shortage.

1. And the top reason to retake elementary math classes...

2. Three-wheeled Oldsmobile, huh?
Sounds like a name of a stupid country song.

3. That's as bad as regular workers parking in the 'Visitor' spot. You're not visitors, you lazy p.o.s's.

4. Women eat more what??? Little tiny rocks? Winnebagos? Martians?

5. Holy carp, Los! Enough with the T.O. crap already!!! Why do you care about this jerk-ass so much anyway?

6. That old hockey game I used to play would have given tecmo bowl a run for it's money.

7. I heard Alba also wants to be stupider, oh wait, she already is.
Friggin' idiot.

8. Ugh, rhubarb.
My grandma used to grow rhubarb out behind our house in Baltimore. Stinky plant. Stinky plant, indeed.

Jeff - I think you have a string of 3-4 posts with a Kennedy reference. You should do this with every post (kind of like your signature.

Ink - I will continue to make fun of T.O. until he is no more.

Claire - Thank goodness these influential people do smart things.

Paige - Welcome!!! I love finding stupid news stories!
