Look. Idina's a brunette. Maybe it's just a case of mistaken identity. Way more people know who Taye is than know who she is.

1) Look at Bing travel. You can set up an alert for airfares, and it tells you if those fares are trending more or less expensive over time.

The People's Republic of Alexandria stands with you.

Do not feel bad for this woman. Do not. This fucking family.

He's an embarrassment to the department.

No. You may not have him. He's ours, Goddammit.

Yup. The people at Deadspin are equal opportunity assholes ( I mean that with love!) They go for the cheap and easy joke every time, regardless of the subject, and for that, I love them.

"We are a people and that's what we need to focus on, instead of dealing with non-profits run by Mexicans."

We can all recognize, right, that the real problem here tonight is not Lt. Governor Dewhurst, nor is it whoever the fuck is up there now. The real problem is this evil parliamentary puppet master in white. She's totally calling the shots.

There's been a brouhaha over whether or not Senator Ellis handed her a back brace, violating filibuster rules. They've been conferencing and in a minute, they'll vote over if it actually was a violation. So now all these Democrats are delaying for time. Fun fact: Whitmire, Ellis, Zaffrini, Royce (some of the ones who…

What the FUCK is happening?!

The GPA scale varies wildly from district to district. I know schools that still use the 4.0 scale and don't weight AP/IB/honors classes, some that use 4.0 and weight those classes to 4.5, and apparently there are some out of 5.0 or 5.1. But colleges and universities are dumb (well. . . ) and they recalculate…

I was watching NBC's internet feed last night and they had the main cam, which was the shit they showed on tv and all the normal commentary, and an ice-level camera, which had only the ambient sound. It was fucking awesome.

Forget Ryan Lochte, Patrick Kane has always been my favorite American douchebag.

How the Blackhawks Made it Back to the Top.

According to Samer, the most important thing the Hawks have done to win is get lucky.

After my Capitals blew Game 7 against the Rangers in humiliating fashion during the first round, I wasn't sure I'd be able to watch playoff hockey this time around, but this series has really been phenomenal. I've got no dog in the fight and I still can't tear my eyes away.

The entire premise of this article is weak. It starts from an assumption that Boston is the better team—that's why Chicago has been "fortunate"; you could make the same argument about Boston being fortunate, too. If Crawford is the weak link on the Hawks, and the entire Boston defense is the weak link for the Bruins,…

I stand corrected. It's entirely possible I'm just talking out my ass. I don't even know anymore.

Is there a reason it couldn't work long term? There are a few places that will support a team regardless of performance (what's up, Toronto!), but for the most part it's true that teams that win will draw and keep fans—Pittsburgh before Crosby was fucking bleak. I'm a Caps fan, and it's been a pretty cyclical…
