Whitesnake Sued Over Fan Puke

A Whitesnake fan is demanding £10,000 in compensation after she slipped in vomit during a concert and suffered injuries to her knees, neck and back.

Yeah, and I want  £10,000 for being subjected to "Here I Go Again" at least 5,000 times throughout my life. I'll never get that time back.

Of all the things to sue over.

Ouch!

Republican VP candidate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), has told friends and the media that his favorite rock band is Rage Against the Machine. The band was well known for its intense, funk inspired grooves, and radical left-wing political lyrics. RATM's guitarist, Tom Morello, was asked to comment on the band's famous fan.

"[Ryan is] the embodiment of the machine our music rages against. A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment."

My lady, Alex Wager, announced today on her show that she is returning to the panel of Real Time with Bill Maher on this Friday's season premiere. Last time she was on, Rep. Darrell Issa bogarted the discussion. This time around, Alex will be appearing along with Peter Byck, Mark Cuban, Reihan Salam, and Chelsea Handler. Should be great.

And praise Jeebus that Bill Maher is back!

The Shocking Night Life of Cats?

A study by the University of Georgia has brought to light the "shocking" truth about what your little, fuzzy buddy does at night when you are asleep. Maybe it's not shocking, per se, since every cat owner knows, on some level, that their pet has the killer instinct inside of him or her. Few have actually witnessed it, however.

The University attached tiny cameras to the collars of 60 or so pet cats, and their owners would download the footage each day and send it to the folks doing the study.

Money quote from one of the owners:

"You could see her whiskers and you could see her staring at the sky, looking at the trees…and in this particular instance…it was clear that she was under the deck of my house and had a bird. And she hadn’t ripped the bird apart yet, but it was clear that the bird was in great distress and it was very upsetting. I stopped watching because I knew what the end point was, that the bird wasn’t going to live. I was very upset with my cat."
