A Black Hole of Happiness

Someone ought to sue them for fraud for representing that they have something in stock and then sitting on it. They'd settle in about two nanoseconds. You wouldn't make much in fees, but there'd be a kicker.

Why do you think they've misrepresented the fact they have it in stock? "We have that--we're just not going to sell it to you today."

Not just a job . . . an adventure!

Yep. I bought my dad (one week before Father's Day) the Traveling Wilburys newly released 2 CD/DVD package. He just got it yesterday.

speaking of being cheap, I always buy regular gas because I heard the premium or whatever is only "better" in that it is better for the car. I lease so I don't care about the car. but the other day at the pump a guy said he thought there might be some increased mileage. Now when gas was $2 a gallon, premium was only $.10 more. Thing is the difference didn't change proportionally- at $3 the difference is still $.10. If there is much improved mileage then it might be cheaper to actually buy "better" gas. Hmmmmm.

You were persuaded by a gas station attendant? And you graduated from Harvard?

Ty has a case for you to handle . . .

Aren't you one of the people who thinks we really shouldn't have a federal government, other than defense or whatever? And yet, here you are, shilling for the FTC and its myriad regulations. Dammit, buying fuel for the car should be a private matter between Hank and whoever wants to sell him something that they choose to call fuel, and they can work out the octane level between them.

The information has already been paid for by taxpayers. Might as well use it.

That said, Hank's free to keep being a sucker. No one's forcing him to wise up.

You should also take your car into the dealership once a year to have the air replaced in your tires.

Beaming for the cameras, Paris Hilton walked out of jail Tuesday morning after serving what she has called a life-changing sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related driving case.

Shortly after midnight, a smiling Hilton – her hair in a long ponytail and wearing an olive jacket, white shirt and jeans – was escorted by deputies out of the jail complex's door. She waved to a crowd of nearly 200 reporters, photographers and others, and walked up to a waiting Escalade carrying her parents.

"Mom!" she said as she embraced her mother at the car.

After she got in, the chauffeured car then drove off with a swarm of photographers in its wake.

Her release was broadcast live by cable news networks and local stations.

Before leaving the jail building, she had gone into a public restroom to change into her street clothes, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.
I thought the judge said she had to do the full sentence, no time off for good behavior?

Britney's sporting dark "hair" now. But still no sign of a mirror in her house.

For a guy who works out constantly and who never wears a shirt (Hi Coltrane!), you'd think this guy would have a better ab regimen.

You can't blame Amazon if a bunch of old and dead guys aren't so fleet of foot.

Not that I really care, but I think that's an exceptionally unflattering shot of his stomach.
