What Fun-Loving Town Has Been Voted America’s Dirtiest City?
June 15, 2011 New Orleans. I spent a week there one afternoon, or at least it seemed like a week. I have to agree with the survey. It seems as if New Orleans has a long way to go to clean up after Hurricane Katrina.
New Orleans, where Sunday mornings on Bourbon Street look like a giant frat house after a kegger, has been crowned with the dubious honor of America's dirtiest city in a new survey.

Worst Mother’s Day Gifts
April 24, 2011 Mother's Day is in a few weeks, so it's time to start thinking about what to buy. I found a list of worst gifts to get your mom and I have bought a couple of these items on the list in the past. Cookbooks and purses were on there, but my mom loves cook so I thought it was very appropriate to buy her one. My mom also likes purses, so I figured this was another good gift.

Charlie Sheen Tour Earns Boos, Walkouts From Detroit Audience
April 4, 2011 Is Charlie SheenÕs ÒWINNINGÓ streak officially over? Based on reports from the first live show of his ÔViolent Torpedo of Truth / Defeat Is Not an OptionÕ tour, the answer is unanimously yes.
Sheen failed to win over the crowd at DetroitÕs Fox Theater Saturday night, eliciting boos, hecklers and even walkouts, according to live updates from EW.comÕs James Hibberd, who referred to the show as an Òunmitigated disaster.Ó
So what exactly happened on stage? After the opening act (a comedian) was booed off the stage, Hibberd says a mock iPhone commercial played, advertising the appropriately titled ÒMaSheen.Ó What followed were a number of violent film clips, including scenes from ÔTaxi Driver,Õ 'PlatoonÕ and ÔApocalypse NowÕ (which incidentally stars SheenÕs father, Martin), a makeout session between SheenÕs live-in "goddesses" and a bit in which Sheen removed his ÔTwo and a Half MenÕ-esque sports shirt and had his goddesses burn it backstage (on video).
