VMA Picks
I actually watched and enjoyed the VMAs this year - Russell Brand was edgy and funny, just like the host of this shindig should be. My two favorite performances:
Pink, "So What"
Paramore, "Misery Business"
Hell Yes, Good Will Hunting
Smart and on point:
Also, it's easy to see that he's the same guy that wrote this:
"I Put It on Ebay"
This was one of Sarah Palin's big applause lines during her convention speech/Miss Congeniality audition. It seemed so salt-of-the-earth, sellinga jet on the the interwebs, and yet....
Palin's Ebay Story: What Actually Happened (HuffPo)-
"What is left unmentioned is that Palin didn't come up with the idea to sell the plane using eBay in the first place. Moreover, because of the unique purchasing terms of the aircraft -- which required the state to make payments amounting to $20,000 per month even if the jet wasn't in use -- the decision not to hire a broker to help sell the property appears in hindsight to have been a costly mistake."
I'm sick of hearing about this woman, to be honest, but it's sort of inevitable, considering that three weeks ago no one outside of Alaska knew who she was.
