However, with all the moral majority whiners returning to gripe about the sinful rot of television, every week a new daytime chatter is getting the short straw. Politicians and pundits are pounding away at the “cultural abomination” oozing about daytime TV. Advertisers are starting to drop shows, and viewers are beginning to cool to such meaty topics as “Hermaphrodites who have slept with their sisters’ husbands and the meth-addicted white trash who love them.” It seems like... Read More

Alex Morgan is a freaking phenomenal player, and the team U.S.A. jerseys are pretty cool. Plus, I’ve seen plenty of girls wearing Lionel Messi and Ronaldo jerseys. And, let’s... Read More
