    How much do you think the "Stars" would have to pay for those test results? Make it retroactive so Congress has to take it ,both parties would go broke.

    Only 120 IQ or above. Older than 23 years old. Have to own 2 million in property and have at least 120k in your checking account to be able to vote. And also, have to currently be smoking marijuana at least once a day. Only those can vote.

    These celebrity parents paying off people to get their kids into USC. USC. 50k a year to attend a school that has a 20 percent acceptance rate. Come on celebrity parents. If you are going to pay someone off to get your kids into a college, make the college a little more out of your kids intellectual reach. Then when they get into Harvard, pay off more people to help them pass!

    So Lori Loughlin was on a Full House episode where the plot line was she and Uncle Joey falsified Michelle's resume to get into preschool, William H Macy had a plot line on Shameless where the ginger kid faked his resume to get into military prep school, and the other lady that I never heard of and in real life is married to married to William H Macy was in a Lifetime show where a plot line was they bribed a coach to get their kid on the team so that it looked good for college.

    This breaking story is obviously the tip of the iceberg- pols, B lister's and other elitist types must have been doing this on a massive scale. I highly doubt this is an instance of "life imitating art". They didn't think this stuff up on their own. I'm sure it's been a dirty little secret amongst the hoity-toity for decades.

    Karma is a B---h ! They were investigating something else and stumbled on to this. I'm curious about the other investigation.

    I had a Canadian tell me, they don't watch news in Canada, as there is none.

    So the big news around the water cooler here at work this morning, the Instagram and Facebook glitch yesterday. Seriously, you would have thought something really disturbing had happened by the way this distress was described. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic.

    And to top it off, my wife is in NYC for the work. She is scheduled to fly back Friday. I just looked at the flight and it is a 737. This isn't good. And yes, it's a max 800

    Lots of rain on top of lots of snow, you have to drive like you stole the truck to get in and out of my driveway.

    "The National Guard was asked to help more than 1,000 stranded drivers on Colorado highways."

    Really? Stay home people if you don't have a vehicle that can handle the snow.

    According to my buddy in Denver, they were expecting a normal snowstorm/blizzard and it was anything but normal. Nobody was expecting a bomb cyclone. Crazy.

    I noticed it, but only because there are work-related accounts I have to manage. Other than this website, I don't use a whole lot of social media other than posting pictures of my kids for the grandparents to see. The older I get, the more I wish it wasn't ever invented.
