“After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the presidency," Donald Trump just said in a statement.
“I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election,” he said, adding, “Ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion, and I am not ready to leave the private sector.”
Phooey! Now who are we going to make fun of? We need prompt replacement, STAT!
Remember SlutWalk, the controversial campaign sparked by a Canadian policeman's remark that women dressing like sluts can attract sexual assault? Yeah, that SlutWalk.
Dust off your corsets and get ready to march, because SlutWalks are now happening all over the dang globe. Click here to find one near you.
Why the f*ck is everyone obsessing over Pippa Middleton?
All the rags are claiming she "stole the show."
She totally did NOT steal the show. It was allll Kate's, dahling. Pippa's the cute, composed and spunky (though she didn't seem especially spunky, with a nickname like Pippa, that automatically reaps elevated spunk status) kid sis. That's IT. End of story. Everybody knock it off. Thanks in advance.
Due to not being able to post much this weekend, I give you the following... 1. Did anyone take advantage of World Naked Gardening Day yesterday?
The American Association for Nude Recreation deemed May 14 as a world-wide day of tending to our gardens in the buff. I did not participate. Don't hate.
2. Jesse James did it AGAIN.
The man is officially a douchebag. This time, he implied to Piers Morgan that ex-wife Sandra Bullock was insincere during their relationship, and that when she expressed her appreciation for him during award show acceptance speeches, it was nothing but acting. SHUT-uuuup, Mr. James. Shutupshutupshutupshutup!!!!
3. Versace is launching a kids' fashion line.
The House of Versace announced the Spring 2012 launch of Young Versace, a line exclusively for infant through 12-year-old fashionistas. The line is expected to incorporate natural fabrics, fun colors and the brand's glam-rock essence, not to mention it's iconic symbols, such as the Medusa and Greek frieze.
4. Decent trade-off: Vaccine prevents HIV, causes herpes.
An experimental AIDS vaccine looks promising, as studies are indicating that it has the potential to eliminate HIV from the body. It works by injecting Cytomegalovirus (CMV), which is a type of herpes, into a person; this supposedly causes the immune system to constantly battle HIV. I soooo don't understand it, but it's incredibly encouraging. Think I'll have to do a cartwheel. Wheeee!
Hope a good weekend was had by all!
Happy 63rd to Brian Eno, godfather of electronic music, Roxy Music alum, game-changer... I could go on and on. I HEART BRIAN ENO!!!!

Yeah, me neither.
Some people, however, DO like rope climbing. I have no idea who they are, but they must exist, because some sadist came up with this new contraption for them:
Now that's what I call punishment. It hurts just to look at that pic. Ugh. Nooooo, thank you.

Got kids? Worried they aren't popular? Turns out, you should probably be more concerned if they are.
Apparently, what makes people unpopular in the hallways of high school--primarily an unwillingness to conform--tends to translate into success as an adult.
Check out Alexandra Robbins' The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth: Popularity, Quirk Theory and Why Outsiders Thrive After High School (Hyperion, 2011).
So, young geeks, rejoice! What makes you a total freak now is quite likely your key to a golden future. Later on down the line, your lives will kick ass, while the cool kids will be sucking it.

A Colorado man was busted for distributing child porn... from his mother's house... which is a daycare center. (Source)
Egads! That's all kinds of wrong. I feel a strong urge to take a shower. Bleck.
Because my sister (the one with the formerly feathered hair and high-collar ruffle stripe fetish) doesn't like talking animal clips.
Am I the only one who likes them?
Am I truly such a jackass?
Will I ever be cured of this affliction?

Do not blog after midnight.
Thanks for the early-morning messages informing me that sleepy Lisa botched the numbers on the Dubai suicide post so horribly, it seemed the man jumped UP to his death. When I re-read the post, I laughed so hard I nearly had a little accident. Almost didn't want to edit it. Alas, the Virgo in me refused to let that happen.
It's fixed, you picky bitches. Heehee!
A man jumped to his death Tuesday from Dubai's 160-story Burj Khalifa tower, the world's tallest building. He reportedly jumped from the 147th floor and landed on a terrace on the 108th floor. It's the first Burj Khalifa suicide.
The deceased man was reportedly upset because his employer refused a time-off request. Wow.

I can't stop watching this damn talking dog video and laughing my ass off. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGeKSiCQkPw&feature=player_embedded]
Hangover star Mike Epps was served with a lawsuit whilst giving a comedy performance in Texas last week, and--needless to say--he was NOT happy about it.
Thanks to TMZ, the profanity has been bleeped out, which is good, because I don't want WordPress to suspend this blog for legitimate reasons.
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_ZJD9XDJFo]
Blog was mistakenly suspended for a few minutes due to a WordPress error.
I received the following email from WordPress within five minutes of suspension:
Hi,
Our apologies. The system should not have done that.
We have removed the warning in your dashboard and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.

Now that's what I call customer service. Thanks, WordPress!
We now resume your regular programming of all things fabulous.
