One of my favorite comedians, Ellen DeGeneres, is married to a beautiful woman, Portia de Rossi. De Rossi published a book this month revealing what unhealthy habits she had developed from modeling and acting at a young age, and how those habits almost killed her.

What Have We Done?

We’ve read it in the papers and heard it on the news. It’s affected the economy in a number of ways. It’s even been used as question material for Miss USA (you can see question on video at 3 min 30 sec): What have we done, folks? As one small person in this enormous planet,… Read the Rest…

I Know the Feeling

This is what it’s like to work for the family, and even more so, for your Grandfather. Wanna know what it’s like to live a day in the life of me? Just check out the new Heineken commercial I caught during a Washington Nationals baseball game: At the end of the day, I can’t say… Read the Rest…
