“Most of the time it feels as if Whitney had torn out every article in...”
– A great line in a review full of great lines.
I just saw that Kohl’s is using Rebecca Black’s “Friday” as the basis for a Black Friday commercial.
I can’t decide if it’s genius or if it is the first of the Seven Seals of the Apocalypse.

– It’s rare that you find anything worth quoting from a Yelp review, but I have to give credit where credit is due. I like this. (And Miss Ollies deserves your patronage.)
“Apple co-founder Steve Jobs refused potentially life-saving cancer surgery for...”

“Cain, hammered by economists, budget wonks, and even his Republican opponents...”
