Presidential Election Prediction from a Guy with...
Jaded about the constant politics of politics? Yeah, well me too. I want to like Barack Obama and the Democratic party because I’m a college student, and that’s what we’re supposed to do right? Support the Democratic initiative, raise taxes on the wealthy, yada yada yada. And you can’t not swing left here in New England, the liberal’s stomping grounds.

Over the Party Rock?
When I was in high school, I wasn’t much of a partier. I was always happy to have two or three close friends and have that be it, but so what ended up happening was that I never belonged to a big group who threw big parties every weekend. I was never unhappy with this, but I knew the whole time that there was some part of being a teenager that I was missing out on. So, when I got to...

GQ's Sexiest Women of 2012 (So Far) →
chitops:
I’m not even going to front like Kate Upton isn’t number one.
But this was really educational. Now I’m familiar with the names attached to the faces of such beautiful ladies as Paula Patton, Joan Smalls, Jessica Paré, and Bérénice Marlohe — not to mention, reminded that Brooklyn Decker is still a wonder of the world.

2012-2013 NFL Season Preview: Prospective Winners...
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the postseason has shown me that the good teams from last year are going to be better, and the bad teams are going to be worse. Everyone knows that preseason standings are useless, but that doesn’t mean the games themselves are. The first half is the most telling sample of your team’s first string (starters), and the second half illustrates your...

Stranger Things Have Happened: A Look at the Mets...

They had seriously outperformed all expectations in the season’s first half. In the beginning of the year, baseball analysts universally predicted the Mets to consistently hold the 4th or 5th place...

The "PHelps PHarewell Tour" →
Michael Phelps was utterly dominated in his first individual medal race at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. He finished 4th, failing to win a medal and thoroughly destroying his unbeatable image. Still, he will most likely walk away this year with the most career Olympic medals won by any athlete, ever.

It is treated as the perfect complement to the most delicious bites of food and to know one’s wines is to be of a higher caliber. Real people, real classy folks, they know their wine and they know how to drink it.
But who would expect you...
