The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck

It's being reported that the 53-year old former American Idol judge and current X Factor judge - Simon Cowell - has impregnated Lauren Silverman, who happens to be married to Cowell's "close" friend, Andrew Silverman. Mr. Cowell, how would you judge that bit of news? "That was terrible, I mean just awful." Rumor has it that Cowell will be teaming up with Dick Cheney when they go on a We're-The-Best-Friends-A-Person-Could-Ever-Have Tour, where they'll take turns shooting friends in the face and sleeping with their wives. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/31/simon-cowell-baby_n_3681801.html http://www.angrysimon.com/simon_quotes.html

In even thinking there's a chance the percentage may be higher than that which correctly said Obamacare is still the law of the land, I may need to take some Advil. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/04/30/poll-42-percent-of-americans-u...

In a poll conducted by Sports Illustrated , 180 NFL players made their voices heard on who they felt was the most overrated player in the league. ...and the winner is? Tim Tebow, who received 34% of the vote. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and New York Jets starting quarterback Mark Sanchez tied for second with 8%. The Eagles Michael Vick and Ravens Ray Lewis finished 4th and 5th with 4% and 3% of the vote. I actually don't agree with the final four listed. Tony Romo and Michael Vick have been a bit turnover prone this year and Romo hasn't done much when it comes to the post-season. However, I still feel they're both very talented quarterbacks and wouldn't classify them as overrated. Ray Lewis is a future Hall of Famer. He's one of the best linebackers the game has ever seen. Of all the players on the list, he is the least deserving. I agree that Mark Sanchez has yet to achieve the expectations set by his high draft pick. However, the guy has come up big in th...
