CNN Missed Midnight in New Orleans
Don Lemon was too busy backing that azz up to notice that it was midnight and let the moment slip by.
Cnn misses every big story.
CNN has redeemed itself by ringing in the new year in New Orleans with "Back That Azz Up" and not acknowledging the stroke of midnight in any way pic.twitter.com/tieCeHc4sA

Hey! New Weight Loss Drug Promises Miracles
Eli Lilly’s diabetes drug tirzepatide is expected to get FDA approval for weight loss. Experts are estimating the new drug to cost users over $1100 a month and won’t likely be covered by insurance.
This is going to be great until the side effects force it off the market. Two weeks then?
Bride Misses Her Wedding, Thanks Southwest
Those awful Southwest flight cancellations this week stopped a bride from making it to her own wedding. Katie Demko was supposed to be married in Belize, but instead spent the morning crying, unable to get there after her flight got cancelled and she couldn’t find another way to get there.
What is more of a white trash travel plan? Southwest? Or Belize?
Office Space Style Heist Nets $300k
A software engineer stole $300,000 from a website using a scheme inspired by the movie Office Space. He used code to double charge clients for shipping, and sent the extra fees to his own account, and lowered prices for products which he then purchased. In his notes outlining his scheme he called it “OfficeSpace Project”
Too bad he didn’t see Oceans 11. There was real money in that one.
DeSantis War on Culture is Costing Florida Millions
Book banning, fighting social media platforms, abortion bans and his campaign to stop WOKE ideas from infiltrating Florida have gotten DeSantis a lot of media attention. But his various wars on culture are costing Floridians millions in tax dollars and in the end, he is losing a large percentage of his wars.
Maybe B.L. should run for Govenor?
Is Weed the Answer to Empty Malls?
A Cannabis super center could take over a vacant California outlet center in the middle of the desert. Pot farms, manufacturers, distributors and retailers could all coexist on the existing footprint of the former shopping center.
This mall will have the busiest food court in America.

Washington Commanders Debut New Mascot
On the last day of the season, Washington thought this would be a good time to debut their new mascot, Major Tuddy. Tuddy is a pig. He’s not even Commander Tuddy. He’s Major Tuddy. And did we mention he’s a pig?
This franchise is dumber than the Washington Generals.
He's kind of a pig deal…

Commanders Head Coach Had No Idea His Team Could Be Eliminated This Week
Washington Commanders head coach found out during his post game press conference that if the Packers beat the Vikings, his team would be eliminated from the post season. That did happen, and the Commanders and their new Major Pig are out.
Next season you’ll have more time to pay attention to the math while you are watching from home.
Ron learned in the post game press conference that the team he is the head coach of can be eliminated from playoff contention today. That is…unfathomable. pic.twitter.com/BtrIKLdT7p

CELEBS & ENTERTAINMENT
16 Candles Was Almost Even MORE Offensive
Even super fans of the movie 16 Candles acknowledge that there are a few lines in the movie that are uncomfortable now. But you can thank Paul Dooley for insisting that one of his character’s lines be cut. He played Sam’s dad and in his new book he talks about the moment that he refused to film. “Near the end of their talk, the script had the dad giving a friendly pat on his daughter’s behind while saying, ‘Where the heck are your panties?’”
If only Paul had been on set for that rich girl rape. And all the Long Duck Dong scenes.
Superhero Movies Lost Their Mojo
One of the hallmarks of 2022 is that this year superhero films lost their swagger at the box office.
Are you saying Tom Cruise isn’t a Superhero?
Ice Cube Still Fighting For Friday
The cult classic hit movie Friday was Ice Cube’s baby, but he doesn’t have the rights to it. He has vowed he will never stop fighting to get the rights back from Warner Brothers, but he has no plans to sue them.
After Next Friday why would anyone even want the rights?
Leo Parties With Lorenzo Lamas Daughter on NYE
DiCaprio says he and Victoria Lamas are just friends, but they went to St. Barts together for NYE and were seen partying on a yacht.
Yeah okay. Friends. So, you fuck your friends then?
Coolios Headstone
The late rapper’s family got him a grave marker that says he’s home in Gangsta’s Paradise.
Too bad he never had another hit
