    Back-to-back commercials during the Minnesota game. First was a Golden Corral ad bragging that they topped the chocolate wonderfall with cotton candy. Then an ad looking for people who want to sue because they took a diabetes drug and now have bladder cancer.

    AND what put it over the top was the voiceover guy calling it "diabetus" AND IT WASN'T WILFORD BRIMLEY.

    Some people are upset because they think this country iw declining. Me, I'm soaking it in like Saturday night races at Bristol.

    Went to the fair today and saw a two-foot long corn dog for $12. Just seeing it made me head over to Subway.

    Oh well. I'm pretty sure there aren't too many "undecideds" among the people watching “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”

    More American exceptionalism, someone is trying to market short shorts to guys

    Sorry, I'll continue taking my short-length fashion cues from the 1991 University of Michigan basketball team as God intended

    If your shorts hang below your knees, you are wearing capri pants.
