Sharon Stone continued her legacy of incredibly idiocy today. And it really is a legacy. The woman is constantly saying and doing such moronic, disgusting, terrible things that you think she can’t possibly top the last debacle… and then she does.

Barack Obama’s India-Pakistan Mess
As an eight year-old boy, I had a handful of treasured possessions: A stuffed dog; a tiny Gizmo who would grow and distort in water (I religiously kept him dry, small, and cute); the first G.I. Joe Snake-Eyes action figure; and a 1983 World Almanac, marked up and annotated with news, trivia, and facts culled from every periodical, TV news program, and library book I could reach. Pretty standard, really.

CHINA: Portrait of a People
Tom Carter’s CHINA: Portrait of a People captures diversity of 33 Chinese provinces
Beijing, China – As the 2008 Summer Olympics commence, all eyes are on China. But far from being the celebration envisaged by Chinese leaders, the first six months of 2008 have seen unrest in Tibet, worldwide protests against the Olympic torch and the devastating earthquake in Sichuan.

You know how sometimes you start focus on a subject (new word, new song etc.) and then you start to see it everywhere. As I was putting this piece together, the tragic earthquake in China happened. So, to begin on a very sober and serious note, my heart and prayers to go out to the families who have been impacted with the recent events (and in my mind, the ongoing travesty).

Sharon Stone's big mouth may have gotten her into a little hot water. She's facing a $1 billion lawsuit from the victims of China's recent earthquake, which she referred to as "karma."
A New York lawyer has rallied more than 1000 survivors and victims' families to serve Sharon with legal documents, demanding a better apology, or they'll sue.

There is a really funny website that I adore called PassiveAggressiveNotes.com. It features real letters, notes, and postings people have sent in that are either passive aggressive, all-out aggressive, obsessive, or things that should just have been said outright instead of posted in a note.

I broke up with my boyfriend of 6 months about a month ago. I thought I was doing okay until yesterday night when I just broke down into tears and cried the whole night.
He cheated on me but yet, I find that I cannot let go.
