I have cleaned my bathroom, and the dog is ded of shock. She is laying there, as if to say, “I will only regain life if you clean off the kitchen table and sweep the kitchen floor. I said I’d think about it. She licked my toes and told me that was the most she… Read More

*  First of all, I wasn’t aware of how much I depended on Comedy Central to put my news into perspective until @Midnight and The Nightly Show premiered tonight.
