that definitly wins the strangest video of the month award!

wow.

That was great!

A nice little boost to keep me working through the day.

Sure would be nice if Salon had a "good news" section that I could read each day.

Daily bouts of war, scandel, corruption and general bad news can be tiresome.

I like the pet pictures, even if it seems that dogs are favored over cats.

if you don't like em, just ignore em.

Dear Cintra,

Have you not WATCHED the Oscars in the last several years? I mean, c'mon, what were you expecting, cutting-edge entertainment? This is an event held by a group called The Academy. How much more staid and institutional can you get?

That said, I thought this most recent Oscars show the most entertaining I've seen in awhile. I thought Jon Stewart, while out of his element, did a great job with his subtlety, wit, and sarcasm. I liked the faux endorsement commercials, I liked Ben Stiller, the opening montage, the cowboy montage. I liked Lilly and Meryl. Lots of fun, entertaining bits in there.

Maybe it helped that I DVR'd it, so that I got to blast through all the commercials and watch it in its condensed form. Maybe watching the extra hour of annoying commercials is what caused you to spill out that bilious tripe you passed of as an 'article'.

I can't help but think of a young middleschool girl, who, in order to be cool, has to dis everything. That's basically what you did. Grow up.

So much for watching 60 minutes on Sunday evening, I'll miss that show.

If these people she is working with are so spineless that they can't stand up to here BS, more power too her!

Though someone should explain to her the meaning of Brainstorm.

The song is "Hey little girl" by the band Icehouse they came out of Australia in the early 80's

You wasted my time with that stupid slop?!

gee, uh thanks

If the Peace Corps won't take a married person without their partner, chances are they won't take a recently divorced person either. The Peace Corps would probably tell her to come back in another year after she's over the divorce, when she is not doing this as a reaction to it - even with the excuse that her divorce was due to the conflict of her wanting to join the Corps. They have pretty rigorous requirements.

Personally, I'd tell the husband to join her and see the world. You're still in your twenties - you're young! Have fun! Live a little! Like another reader said, travel through some third world locations for a month together first. That will really put the relationship to the test and clarify if you can live in third world conditions together for 2 years.

My question to you is, how long and how hard did you think about your decision to return to the States? If you thought about it long and hard while you were in paradise and you decided it was the right thing to do, then stick with it. It sounds to me like you have a classic case of second-guessing/grass-is-greener. We've all done this. It's like that relationship that you left. Johnny had his good points, but you knew in your heart that staying with him wasn't in your best interest. So you decided to leave. Then the loneliness set in, and you started to remember all of the good times you had with him - oh, that vacation on the coast! Memory wears rosy spectacles, accentuating the positive and downplaying the negative. So I'd say, have the resolve to not pick up that phone and call Johnny. Or Singapore Air in this case.

On another note, I have spent what amounts to a couple of years traveling, and the reverse culture shock always is much more difficult for me to deal with. It's like coming back to the real world after that aforementioned weekend at the coast. It sucks. So give it some time.

And finally, if, after a couple of years, you are truly miserable and know in your heart that you want to return, then get ye back to paradise!

And that's all I have to say about that. Good luck!

Not only was that video dumb, but what's dumber is that I actually wasted my time watching it.

Ok, I'll bite, that’s just a spoof of the show with someone putting in some silly voice over dialog to make fun of how bad that show is? right...Right?

With a 4 month old, we have seen a lot of babies lately. Some with no hair and some with lots and lots of hair, but never as much as Suri.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I think she's wearing a wig, or using a whole lotta hair gel.

Good grief!

Just to be clear, I'm somewhere on the moderate left and vote democrat most if not all of the time. The first thing I thought when I saw this article was, "what about the democrat’s dirty tricks?"

History shows that no party is immune to these tactics, what you should really be reporting is the corruption in general of the election process regardless of party lines and what if anyone is trying to do about it.

Instead you've just encouraged more vilification of the right; god knows they don't really need the help either.

I'm tired of this Us vs. Them battle, it’s old and it doesn't do a bit of good for anyone in the long run.

Democrats won, enjoy the victory and revel in the fact that dirty tricks, however heinous don't always win elections.

I'll second that, Um NSFW this guys!!

Nice job, that was pretty funny!
