Well first off I have to say... Fuck you, Hosni Mubarak.  For over 2 weeks I've been watching the events unfold in Egypt.  I went to bed last night expecting to see the people of Cairo storming the presidential palace.  I woke up this morning and the crowds were still growing.  Then the ONE FUCKING TIME I wasn't watching is when you decide to resign.  Thanks a whole hell of a lot asshole.

Ok... onto other things...

New secret in a PostSecret book...

I have sex with random strangers from Craigslist. (Often multiple people at once).  It's an incredible high.  I'd die if my friends/family/co-workers found out.

Was at Goodwill the other day and came across this beautiful framed picture...

Because yeah, nothing more symbolizes Jesus's love that a fugly camel with fake eyelashes.  I'm sorry Madeline, if Jesus really was your best friend he wouldn't subject you to such abhorrent pictures.

Dita von Teese was part of a celebrity runway show to kick off NY's Fashion Week... The show was a fundraiser for the Go Red For Women project by the American Heart Association to draw awareness to women and heart disease.

I've always been a fan of Ms von Teese but damn... just... wow.

Ladies and gentlemen... That is an AMAZING ass.  Just sayin'.

Best new "celebrity" twitter feed?  President Josiah Bartlet.  Yes I know... A> He wasn't really president... and B> He wasn't real.  But still his tweets are almost always spot-on.

He's leaving, then he's staying, then he's leaving, then he's staying. I swear to God, Mubarak is the Brett Favre of Egypt. 

I am amazed by the number of people who want to elect a television character. #DonaldTrump 

Yesterday Chris Lee voted to extend the PATRIOT Act. I wonder if his views on Invasion of Privacy have changed since then. 

I'm pretty sure if Lindsay Lohan was arrested for protesting in Egypt, we'd actually have coverage of it.

Finally one of my favorite people in the world died today.

From 1946 until 2006 Tom Carnegie was the public address announcer at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway...

Tom was most famous for two phrases.... "Heeeeeeeee's on it!" when is what he said when the driver started his qualification run and "It's a neeeeeeew traaaaack  record!"... the latter of which will most likely never be said again as the cars have been changes so Arie Luyendyk's 1996 record of 237.498mph will never be broken.

Godspeed Tom and thanks for the memories.
