You win some, you lose some. If we did everything perfectly, the gal next to us wouldn't get that oh so refreshing mid-party shower. We'd never see some dude's head stuck in some other dude's underpants. We would never get electrocuted during a drunken night out on the town. Failure is part of the fun, you see. (Want more failure?

Chin up, Mr. President Bush, sir! It's not all bad! OK, yes, 98 percent of historians think your presidency has been a failure, but that's just a silly survey. I found an amazing list of the Top Ten Worst Presidents, and you're not even on it!
There are a whole slew of scandals (Teapot Dome, Black Friday) an impeachment (nope, not him — think way back) a Great Depression even greater than the one we're hurtling into now, and a Folly! You haven't had an official folly yet! Get crackin'!
Here are the top (worst?) five from the hilarious and not historically unsound list of top ten worst:
James Buchanan (oops Dred Scott...)
Warren G. Harding (there's your Teapot Dome!)
Franklin Pierce (Kansas-Nebraska Act?)
Richard Nixon (Ohh, Watergate.)
Andrew Johnson (And we have impeachment!)
So you see, Mr. President sir, there's a whole lot of history just as bad as what you're up against. But take a second to read the list, will you? There are quite a few months left of your big job! Let's learn and laugh together!
So. Do you think George W. Bush should have made that list?
I understand that when people get upset they do irrational things. I believe though that when two people are close they argue to resolve the issue and to make the relationship stronger not to hurt each other's feelings in order to "win."
When my boyfriend and I get into a fight, I try to keep my cool and use phrases like, "When you do this, I feel..." or "Do you think you could meet halfway on this because..." but when he gets upset, he says things like, "I can't believe what you're doing, it's so nasty," or "Why do you have to be so cheap?" and "Oh my god, you're a nightmare, I wish I never met you."
Comments like that are obviously not constructive and all they do is hurt my feelings and make it harder for me to stay calm. After the fight is over and we're okay again, I can see that he doesn't mean what he's said, but it's still so hurtful. I've talked to him about this and while he apologizes profusely, he doesn't change — this happens every time we fight. What should I do?

Harvey here is lucky I don't have a time machine that can catapult me forty years backwards in time to hit him upside his douchebag head. In this vintage Folger's ad, Harvey lets his wife have it for making him a sub-par cup of coffee, comparing her coffee-making skills — unfavorably — to the ladies back at the office. What would you say to Harvey if you could?
Who is unhappy with the state of America, and the consolidation of viewpoints by the media?
Shouldn’t broadcasters see themselves as part of a larger picture, isn’t there an obligation to honestly report on what’s going on, to pursue stories past their headlines. Haven’t criminal acts occurred in government? Shouldn’t there be accountability for inept policy decisions? Shouldn’t someone be fired? And you know something? I didn’t hear any of that, because I am still thinking about that starlet getting out of the car without the panties.
