Just wondering
Every now and then I think of things that bother me.
Maybe you can help me.
If you turn the air conditioner up, are you making it warmer or cooler?
Are 'this Saturday' and 'next Saturday' the same date?
What happens when an irresistible force encounters an immovable object?

IT'S JUST SATIRE, OR IS IT...???
The New Yorker magazine says it's satire, but a lot of people find it's just disgusting. I didn't "get it" at first. I thought it was really outrageous and offensive!!! If I thought that, then I think the "average" person will think the same. Apparently it is meant to show just how distorted some images of the Obama's really are - but I see an opposite effect. To me, it says "don't vote for Obama".
What do you think?

"Don't Tell Mom, the Boyfriend's Dead!"
Okay, I'm gonna rot in hell for that one, but I. . .just. . .couldn't. . .resist. . .
Lee Grivas, the 26-year-old on and off boyfriend of Christina Applegate, was found dead from a heroin overdose in his apartment on Tuesday afternoon. Applegate and Grivas, a 26-year-old skateboarder and photographer, had a rocky on-again, off-again relationship due to his continual battle with drugs and alcohol. But the couple had decided to give it one last shot this past April when Grivas made another attempt at getting clean.

"I am profoundly saddened," Applegate said in a statement to Us Magazine. "Lee was an incredible human being who was an extremely important and beautiful part of my life. He is missed beyond words," she added. "He touched so many and I feel much sadness for his mother, father, brother, and all of his family and friends."
