Mad Men Action Figures... Booze Not Included Mar. 11, 2010 10:38 am
Your favorite Mad Men characters are being turned into Barbie dolls.
In July, you'll be able to own your own plastic versions of "Don" and "Betty Draper" (Jon Hamm and January Jones), "Roger Sterling" (John Slattery) and "Joan Holloway" (Christina Hendricks). The dolls, which will set you back 74-95 each, come with such accessories as briefcases, hats and padded undergarments. Cigarettes and martini glasses are not included.
Ahh the dirty things I'll make Betty and Joan do to each other... - Comments

Anthony Bourdain on Yo Gabba Gabba Feb. 26, 2010 12:00 pm
If you've never seen the children's show "Yo Gabba Gabba" you either:
A.) don't have small children.
- or -
B.) don't smoke weed.
You should probably check the show out anyway. It's absolutely insane. Educational with people in brightly colored costumes teaching kids cool lessons about sharing and stuff like that. Plus weird songs. And awesome guest stars. And children dancing their asses off. Think Sesame Street for the new millennium. Plus Biz's Beat of the Day.
Well, Anthony Bourdain - acclaimed author and star of the Travel Channel show "No Reservations" - will be making a guest appearance as Dr. Tony on "Yo Gabba Gabba" on March 10th. Bourdain is also coming to the Weidner Center on June 11th - listen to Rick and Len next week to win tickets. I'm assuming the Weidner show will be more "No Reservations" and very little "Yo Gabba Gabba."
Who needs Iron Man when you can fly around in your own jet pack? It's about damned time. The personal jetpack is finally here. And it looks awesome. I'm saving my money right now...
The News is important. The News lets you and me know the important things going on in the world, our country, and our towns. The News explains complicated issues. The News provides facts, objectively, that you and I can draw our own conclusions from.
Unfortunately, far too often the media outlets that are supposed to be providing The News to us, instead spoon feed us "news" that isn't important to the world, country, town, or my life. It's "news" that is too lazy to explain complicated issues. Or worse, don't even cover it because it's too complicated for some lazy reporters to figure out themselves. It's "news" that substitutes ridiculous personal opinions for facts. It's "news" that allows someone without credentials or any fact-based data an equal amount (and often greater amount) of airtime as a respected expert with mountains of well-researched scientific data.
Having real credit card issues? Try getting into a Debt Management Plan (DMP) through organizations like Money Management International. They'll negotiate with credit card companies to get your interest rates down to nothing (or almost nothing), lower your minimum payments, and help you make your payments on time. I've been working with them personally for about 5 years and will have what started out at around $30,000 in credit card debt paid off this summer. - Comments
