It’s all Borat’s fault
[Pam Anderson and Kid Rock](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15922549/) are splitting up. I blame [Borat](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0443453/).

T-30 days until Christmas
Ahh, the holiday season is upon us once again. Now to see if I can make another season without seeing that stupid movie. (Yes, [A Christmas Story](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0085334/), I’m looking at you.)
