Are you a coffee addict? Perpetually on the go, unable to brew your own? Then you might just need to get yourself Starbucks latest incentive to shop there, the Gold Card! I just purchased mine, after a comical situation involving a Boca Raton barista claiming I needed to spend $2500 per year to make...

Struggling vintners and liquor store owners in New York have come out with this modestly priced wine ($4.99) to try to combat the recession. I'm not sure what the mascot is, but he has an appropriate 1930s air to him, with a megaphone and what looks like an Uncle Moneybags frock coat. Next up: Reces...

Someone pull her cord again. She's stuck....

And about as thin as hotcakes too... Meet the lowest car in existence, the recently released "Flat-Mobile", standing at just 19 inches tall! That's Spanish model, Marina, looking as if she just hitched a ride in Tomorrowland's Speedway at Disney World. It's cute though, but so is a kitten and I'd no...

I finally figured out who Cristiano Ronaldo looks like, seen here juggling the ball with his outrageous ballskills, ahead of Portugal's friendly versus Brazil. Walter Mercado. In case you don't know, he's a legendary Puerto Rican soothsayer who had a very successful career in the Spanish-speaking te...

I've said it earlier, when Governor Palin and Senator McCain called him to resign, but good riddance to bad rubbish -- "Uncle Ted" has finally lost his seat. The Congress is rife with corruptocrats like Dodd, Frank, Murtha and Jefferson. It does Republicans no good to point to them, when they have s...

No. Not this. THIS. Body language notwithstanding, Michelle Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, will enter our national lore as Grandma-in-Chief (First Grandma?). She'll be moving into the White House with her charges, Malia and Sasha. You know, I rather like that. I'm so sentimental towards my own lat...

If you didn't know better, and I asked you to describe this photograph of a rather runty Renate Kuenast being held up by Jürgen Trittin, celebrating their victory in Germany's Green Party's congress, how would you describe the scene? Doesn't it look like something out of the Wombles set? I just can...

I am no fan of Jay Leno's "Jaywalking" segments. For whatever reason, Americans take special glee in showing how insular, ignorant, and goofy their fellow Americans are when being asked questions of general knowledge. "They know squat about geography!", cry these Americanos arrepentidos. Yes, true e...
