If we took one thing away from last nights Toddlers and Tiaras it's never get between a mini-diva and her pacifier. Watch as contestant Makenzie throws a tanrtum for her Ni-Ni and suppress all urges to shake your computer screen.
I'm torn on this new teaser for season three of Toddlers & Tiaras, which announces the return of Makenzie, a "diva" who is wonderful (and horrifying) television. Here, she is weirded out by doing her nails on "that show." Sadface?
The New York Post reports today that a woman was raped near Penn Station early Monday morning. Police quickly caught the perp, who had a long rap sheet. What do the Post's famously insightful commenters have to say about this?

We've always been of the mind that realtors are the human incarnation of pure evil (see: the CorcoDevil), but perhaps the situation is a bit more literal than one might think.
