Went over to see my nieces and nephew yesterday and was dragged to COSTCO by my sister. I've never been. The abundance mesmerized and traumatized me. Like a buffet in LAS VEGAS coupled with the slot machine area. And yet I was compelled to buy stuff I didn't need or certainly didn't need in that quantity. I spent half my time putting stuff back. If one needs a gallon of PREPARATION H aren't their problems beyond being solved by COSTCO?... "And we are now in a situation where we are beginning to adapt to absurdity." - VAN JONES on SOUTH CAROLINA GOP race. The candidates are just full of adverbs and adjectives... DISH's CHARLIE ERGEN on the cable bundle... The 100 most popular items on REDEF... The rise of the immersive drama on television and the cultural shifts that have led to the transition from THE WALTONS to WALTER WHITE... I'm addicted to watching him and his train wreck: MARTIN SHKRELI chats about his beef with GHOSTFACE KILLAH and buying the WU-TANG album for $2 Million... Happy Birthday to PETER STEINLAUF, DANIEL EK, DAVID HORNIK, JON FINE and GREGG SPIRIDELLIS.
