A blizzard threatens the Iowa caucuses, it could potentially leave the candidates and media snowed in. It was bad enough last year to be snowed in with strangers or coworkers you don’t like – can you imagine having to share a cot with ANY of the candidates? I wouldn’t share my milk and bread with any of them! Getting snowed in with that bunch sounds like the plot of a horror movie.

A law student in the UK is suing Nestle, because her Kit Kat bar did not have a cookie wafer inside. Personally, I think she should give them a break.

The CIA has released “real” declassified UFO files, in honour of the New X Files Miniseries. They posted them to their blog. Because the CIA has a blog to keep tabs on us via cookies and tracking tools. I mean, “because blogs are fun.”

I keep trying to DVR the new season of the Biggest Loser but all that shows up is reports on the Iowa Caucus.

A website that studies social media trends called Rantic recently surveyed 10,000 Facebook users about what annoys them most when they’re scrolling through their news feed on the toilet. Personal problems, selfies, political posts, food pictures, and, yes, baby pictures were the main complainey categories. Personal Problems were the top annoyance post nationwide in both men AND women. So to get away from this we start taking selfies of political rants and suddenly it’s less annoying?

Election season is properly underway with the Iowa Caucuses starting up. I move that we deny voting rights to anyone who ever posted a Craigslist “missed connection.”

Speaking OF … it was on this date in 1974, Ted Bundy entered the ranks of serial killers with his second victim, he eventually went on to become America’s most famous serial killer. I’m convinced half of Craigslist is serial killers uploading stuff from prison.

The internet has spoken and it is official – that useless little pocket on the front of your jeans was designed for men’s pocket watches. Wow. How is that cure for cancer coming, guys? Other things that the little mystery pocket is used for? A key, loose pills, chapstick, a small dog treat or a single Barbie shoe. Now we know.

And… it was on this date in 2003, the Columbia shuttle mission ends in disaster. A quote from Mission Specialist Michael Anderson to his pastor before STS-107 launched then eventually broke apart. He said, “If this thing doesn’t come out right, don’t worry about me, I’m just going on higher.” Goodspeed.
