A study claims that there’s a link between excessive Internet use and depression. Does that mean that people are depressed because they are spending so much time online, or is the excessive online time a symptom of their depressing lives?- I was probably at the tailing end of the generation that still passed actual notes. Now they are texting right in front of the teachers. Should they confiscate all phones? Maybe some sort of cell phone jammer on school property? Maybe the teachers should just have their cell numbers and send them texts that say “PAY ATTENTION!!!”
- Some people are turning to surgery to snip their dogs vocal chords to combat non-stop barking. If you’re so annoyed by the dog that you’re willing to have its vocal chords ripped out, maybe you shouldn’t have the dog.
- One new group is pushing to have the President spend more time answering face to face questions from Congress. As you may remember, John McCain made that a campaign pledge in 2008. Do you think that if they actually had to face eachother from time to time they would spend far less time accusing eachother of drowning puppies in their free time.
- Your tax dollars in action: The US Census Bureau has purchased a $2.5 million ad during the Super Bowl. Clearly our government is really taking this whole debt thing seriously.
- Senator-elect Scott Brown will be sworn in before 5pm Thursday.
- Colin Powell says that the military should repeal ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell.”
- Jon Stewart will enter the no-spin zone tonight and tomorrow.
- New Jersey man fatally shoots his pet parrot after it interrupted his NASCAR viewing. Wait a minute this can’t be right, there was a shooting over a NASCAR race and it happened in New Jersey, not Mississippi? World’s fastest growing sport indeed.
- Nine-year-old Chinese girl gives birth. No, that’s not a typo.
- I’ll bet you thought that John Edwards couldn’t sink any lower as a human being… It turns out he actually hit his cancer-stricken wife while arguing over his infidelity.
