Are we phweeting social media?
We all have vices for amusement, right?
Some of us regale for yesteryear at a certain "obsessive" college. Others of us could spend hours jamming to the best of 80s hair bands to make time zoom by... in a foggy haze, no less.

I'm on a horse to 'It's Never Too Late' Ville
The moment you read that headline, I would be willing to bet your check that your mind did not instantly transport to Kentucky and envision the running at Churchill Downs.
No, no. You were throwing up a high-def, IMAX screen picture of Isaiah Mustafa draped in a 400-thread count towel.

Is it ever okay to poke fun at the military?

Here's your chance to get your kids into Broadway
My son is a veritable webhead.
I love his obsession with comic books and super heroes. Mind you, he's six. Make him 26 with the same obsession and he will be living in the garage.

For Miss America 2011, I got my Huckleberry
In the world of PR, human-interest stories are great for filler or sweeps.
Often, they don't get the love the deserve because that kind of interest doesn't involve a crack head stealing a TV and jumping from a window, or a car crash during rush hour because someone in an AMC Pacer swerved to avoid a runaway cow in the middle of the freeway. (Yes, only in Texas.)

That clamoring sound you hear is the cacophony of corporate jargon in that headline filling your head with a "BUZZ" that would make a Vuvuzela blush.

Here's a scary subject: Ghostblogging.
The middle of last decade brought about the advent of the blogosphere. What used to be just a space for an ego storehouse online seems to now be a level of atmosphere the space shuttle needs to jettison through before orbit.
