Why the Dems Really Lost in MA

the answer isn’t going to surprise you, so we’ll go ahead and put it right out there.  Three little–powerful–words.  These words make the world go ’round, and you’ve probably heard them before.  They’re the subject of poets, of playwrights, of songs and epic tales.  People have lived and died for them.
The words?

What Price Panties?

The last few years have led to something we’re thinking of  calling the DePrivitazation of Privates, or at least of panties.  There’s Victoria’s eponymous fashion show…about that Secret? In name only, trust us. Sports isn’t immune…the Lingerie Football League  sports lots of chicks in corsets (and the magical tagline “true fantasy football”–NSFW, btw.)
So the furor [...]

Maria is__________

Fill in the blank, kiddies;
A) taking a brief nap on the court–multitasking is key!
B) channeling her inner kangaroo.  It is the Australian Open, after all. Three second later, she jumped.

Imagine Derek Jeter’s sterling defense in 3D.  Now, imagine his amazing assets, if you will.
Happy yet?  OK, try Sharapova, if you must.
ESPN’s making your dream a reality, with a 3D TV network–the first of it’s kind–which will debut sometime this year. It will broadcast a minimum of 85 live sporting events, including the 2011 BCS [...]

Usain Bolt vs. Our Fantasy Team

OK, not really.  But, something like this is actually in the works: “Sources” say that Usain Bolt (fastest guy alive, adoptive parent of adorable cheetah named Lightning Bolt) might race Chris Johnson, of the Tennessee Titans (buyer of cars for his entire O-Line after his 2,000 yard rush season concluded yesterday.)
Our money is on Bolt, [...]

Man, I Feel Like An…Olympic Torch? (That Don’t Impress Me Much)

When we think of the Olympic torch, we think of the fabulousness of photo finishes.  The dedication of athletes who devote their lives to sport.  OK, maybe that parade with the interesting outfits and the incredibly excited athletes from Togo, or the Marshall Islands….all three of them.  Here’s what we don’t think of: Over-moussed country [...]
