    Sure glad we didn’t waste any pixels or time on their wedding

    And too bad lots of people didn’t compare Ms Stoddard’s marriage unfavorably to hers because she couldn’t possibly be in love with her husband… and he with her. Oh wait…

    WAIT. The US cut funding to UNESCO!? Seriously.

    Ok… dang. Props when they’re due.

    I wouldn’t piss on the “Palestinians” if they were on fire.

    Which, they might be. Keep screwing around, guys.

    Look, it’s the Kardashians, who are all complete media whores. Stacy doesn’t say I have to pay attention to them, so I don’t, except on occasions like this when I need to get my minimum daily dose of schadenfreude. Elroy-L – er, I meant Doug Hutchinson’s marriage, on the other hand, is NEWS, especially considering the age and attractiveness of his bride.

    She is kinda cute in a fat butt sort of way, but they are complete media whores.  I bet she kept that ring (worth $2 million? ) and the idiot husband was stupid for giving it to her in the first place (that is almost a year salary for him).  Was it worth it?  Doubt it.

    I would piss on them if they were on fire, provided I could do so without pissing on the flames.
