Hot Midterm Action

Sure, it’s football season, but who can concentrate on football when it’s midterm election season too? If you said Democrats, score one for you.

The Real Fake Housewives of New Jersey

If you don’t watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and therefore didn’t see the blow up on the reunion show, and therefore obviously have no class, you can watch it here (it gets real about 3:00 in).

Do The Maths

This faux British educational video tackles the worst subject the human race has ever invented: math. Forgive the bias (I can’t add or subtract numbers higher than nine) but, really, it is.
