Psychics (and the idiots that use them)
I just returned from New Orleans and there are psychics EVERYWHERE! Usually the folks that frequent psychics are the ones that can least afford to. It provides peace of mind to some, even if it is phonier than hell. Got the check, by the way - thanks!! I will give it to the donation collectors at my shift on the 8th during sponsor matching time.— February 15, 2009 4:11 p.m.

Yes, you can send it to me and I will bring it in with me. My sister made a donation last year, and they have times when the sponsors will match. She just happened to call at the time when they were doing this, and her donation doubled! I was watching the television after my shift (I do the TV bank) and I had just hung up with her after she said she would call in. You could hear the whole room go nuts! It was great. I'll hold your donation until a sponsor match.— February 10, 2009 6:55 p.m.

Josh - I did not see the picture before! Cotton is awesome! I know I said this before, but good for you and your girlfriend for rescuing a dog. I will be helping the Humane Society on March 8th for their big televised fundraiser. If you get a chance, call in a donation!! People like you make a difference.— February 10, 2009 7:18 a.m.

Are you retarded, rickeysays? You say women use dogs as "surrogates", yet you want them to wrestle, protect, chase balls and play with other dogs for your amusement? And they can only be "real dogs" to do these things, ie, big enough to prove your manhood? Animals don't exist for people like you, they are only an extension of your questionable masculinity. All animals deserve a chance, except you and Michael Phelps.— February 9, 2009 7:55 a.m.
I Can't Give Love Away. It Keeps Coming Back.
Your story brought tears to my eyes. Don't ever stop writing. You are good.— February 7, 2009 1:05 p.m.
How to Boil Water.
That clip is great. I love Morgan. I, too, enjoy beer and nachos once in awhile (I won't eat meat, though, after reading Fast Food Nation). I grew up in New York State, and we picked apples from trees and ate tomatoes that tasted like heaven. Ever eat a tomato from a grocery store now? Ugh! They taste like wall-paper paste.— February 7, 2009 12:52 p.m.
Ponzi Pawns
WHAT!?!? I LOVED your column! Always hilarious. Thomas Larson, that intelligent, lofty, serious fellow writer for the Reader once told me he didn't get your writing. It was at that moment I realized your genius. I am sickened. Sickened. You are far too smart for them, anyway. Go get a job with a real publication. The Reader isn't good enough for my cat's litter box now. If the Diva goes, the Reader will be dead.— February 7, 2009 12:32 p.m.
Crazy Celebs -- The Christian Bale/Etta James edition
Nobody says "get jiggy with it" anymore! I don't think anyone ever did unless it was in reference to that stupid song. I just listened to the Christian Bale rant. I have read about it, but declined to listen because I could not stand the thought of hearing another "celebrity" dress down some poor working stiff just doing his job. Curiosity got the best of me. Holy bats***! That guy is nuts. I think it is indicative of the decline of celebrity worship. They are all falling from grace. Jessica Simpson apparently had a mini meltdown at her last performance. I love movies, but I dislike most actors. It's like when I read about how Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are such humanitarians, but they are staying in a $30,000.00 a night mansion while visiting some war-torn country. With an army of assistants.— February 7, 2009 10:23 a.m.
Do Right
Common decency dictates you sign the card (or allow the signing of your name in your absence) acknowledging the death of your mother's father, not adherence to a stubborn insistence that you're somehow "different" and therefore above traditional societal displays of condolence.— February 5, 2009 5:17 p.m.
