» I don't understand people who hate reality television. Doesn't interest you? Okay. But HATE?

» I bet Paula Deen is wild in bed.

Yes, Michigan lost to Harvard earlier this month, but my beloved Bruins could easily start sluggishly, dig a double-digit hole and then rally furiously only to fall just short.
