New TV, Does Anyone Care?

Moron's Beach - New Game For Zynga

The Most Fantastic TV Show

Mad Men, of course. It's fantastic. Is it the best ever? I don't think so or I would give this post a different title. Still, 9 months since season 3, and worth the wait. I could go on about the... Continue reading

Did The World Cup Tip Soccer in the U.S.?
