The bill was passed 219-212.

sandra bullock and jesse james, NOOOOO!
Sandra Bullock is perfect. She is a fantastic actress, self-deprecating, hilarious and gorgeous. Although she seemed to be completely out of her husband’s league, they were so adorable together and seemed so in love, it didn’t matter.
And still, he cheats.
WHY DO GUYS WHO LOOK LIKE THIS:
CHEAT ON WOMEN WHO LOOK LIKE THIS:
WITH WOMEN WHO LOOK LIKE THIS: 
Devastating.

do you think sjp is ugly?
Nothing sparks debate like watching the red carpet coverage at the Oscars. Ok, that might not be entirely true, but it does start some interesting conversations. This year? How ugly Sarah Jessica Parker is.
Girls love her for the obvious reasons, and apparently guys think she’s hideous. In fact, I was told that she gets a 3 on a 10 point scale and a 0 on a 1 point scale (1 I would sleep with her, 0 I wouldn’t).
I was also shown this website, sarahjessicaparkerlookslikeahorse.com
Equal parts terrible and hilarious, so I wanted to share.

Happy Friday, everyone!

superbowl ads going conservative this year?
If you are like me, you watch the Superbowl to eat unlimited snack foods, drink some beers and watch the commercials. I may pay attention for the first quarter or so, but then I eat, drink and socialize until the commercials come back on. And it’s glorious.
This year, it looks like CBS may be putting a conservative spin on the commercials. Uber-religious Tim Tebow and fam will be featured in a “Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life” ad discussing how Tebow’s mom’s doctors in the Philippines suggested she had have an abortion when she fell ill while she was pregnant with Tim. [Spoiler alert!] she didn’t. The ad has been paid for by Focus on the Family, who’s founder has said that gay marriage will “destroy the Earth.” Ugh.
On the other hand, CBS rejected an ad from mancrunch.com, a gay dating website. “After reviewing the ad, which is entirely commercial in nature, our standards and practices department decided not to accept this particular spot,” said CBS spokeswoman Shannon Jacobs. Jacobs also said the ads were practically sold out when they reviewed mancrunch’s concept, where two men passionately make out after their hands brush on their way to the chip bowl. Riiiiight.
Come ON CBS. I want more commercials like this: Not ones that take a stand.
Regardless, I’ll be there on Superbowl Sunday, solo cup in hand, covered in chip crumbs, just waiting it out until the next commercial.

not a puppy, but still cute.
I don’t dislike cats, but I just don’t really understand them. The cats I’ve interacted with seem apathetic to the existence of all humans. I want them to be dogs, and they aren’t. But I’m sure that’s why cat lover’s love them.
Regardless, this video is pretty adorable.
Just a tip, watch it on mute.

nbc, make up your damn mind!
NBC recently announced they would be moving the struggling Jay Leno Show to 11:35, moving back Conan O’Brien’s Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon’s Late Show until after midnight. Conan finally put his foot down and submitted this statement:
People of Earth:
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.
Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over “The Tonight Show” in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004, I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.
But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my “Tonight Show” in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.
Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the “Tonight Show” to 12:05 to accommodate the “Jay Leno Show” at 11:35. For 60 years, the “Tonight Show” has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the “Tonight Show” into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The “Tonight Show” at 12:05 simply isn’t the “Tonight Show.” Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the “Late Night” show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.
So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard, and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of “The Tonight Show.” But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet, a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the “Tonight Show,” I believe nothing could matter more.
There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.
Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.
Yours,
Conan

man, i just love stupid criminals.
A man, who had just been released from the hospital for injuries from a domestic dispute (aka his girlfriend hit him with a frying pan and a table leg), stole $50 from her at a local Walmart and attempted to escape on one of their motorized scooters. He didn’t get away. The end.
And while looking for an image for this post, I came across this little gem. It’s called the “CruizinCooler.” Jackpot.

now taking suggestions for decade nickname.
Cheers to 2010! I was pondering today what the nickname for the newest decade would be when I realized something…no one ever came up with a nickname for the past 1o years. Sure, the ’80s, ’90s, etc. kind of wrote themselves, but how is it possible that not one of the six billion of us could think of something to call ’00-’09 collectively? Come on people. Lets do better for the next 10.
On another (much more embarrassing) note, I shamefully admit that I was, yet again, sucked into The Bachelor’s premiere episode tonight. The Bachelor is now on its 14th season, not counting The (far superior) Bachelorette seasons. New Bachelor Jake was surprisingly less douchy than he was last year, but the majority of the 25 female contestants put all women to shame. Who watches this garbage? Oh yeah, me.
can you feel my rolling eyes?
This season promises to have just as much ABC Network-induced drama and fake-by-the-railing emotional breakdowns as any other season, so I’ll probably DVR every episode. Especially because the gossip is a contestant and one of the show’s producers were having an affair while taping was going on. Not even The Bachelor producers take this show seriously!
And one last thing, because Jake is a pilot – the title of this season is “The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love.” ABC, FIRE your writers.
