The Fat Lady Sings - New York Post

Seeded on Sat Jan 31, 2009 8:04 PM EST (New York Post)

I'm not a fan of Jessica Simpson, but this news article is extremely insulting to her and to all women. The reporter of this trashy article is a total idiot. It's ridiculous to call someone who looks like she is a size 7 or 8 a fat person.

Tales of an internet junkie

Sun Jan 11, 2009 5:48 PM EST

I'm finding that I'm spending a lot more time on the internet. I'm certain that this seeming addiction to it isn't healthy for me. But I just can't stay away. The internet is almost like a narcotic drug for me.

Mandatory Parole In Colorado - iReport.com

Seeded on Wed Jan 7, 2009 9:06 PM EST ()

I thought this blog article was very interesting. I never knew anything about mandatory parole until I read this article about it. I wonder if there are other states besides Colorado that have this policy in their criminal justice system.

Hello newsviners. This is my first article in the Newsvine Community group forum, so I apologize if it's a bit of a downer. I know this time of year is supposed to be very joyous and all that good stuff, but Christmas has definitely lost it's meaning for me.

I really liked this article reviewing the show. It's from last year, but I thought it was very funny and just a tad sarcastic. I hope y'all like it.
