    In reply to It Gets Worse: Meg Whitman's Sons' Racism and Entitlement Were Stuff of Legend
    Meg Whitman is on the board -- or was -- of Dreamworks. How does she navigate being around such mega-Jews as Steve Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg? And her husband's father, Griffith Rutherford Harsh III, has a somewhat strange profile on his University of Alabama Department of Neurosurgery profile -- at least it's not information relevant to medicine. To wit: "Griffith Rutherford Harsh III was born January 9, 1924 in Birmingham, Alabama, of devout Christian parents and was raised in the Presbyterian Church." While it may or may not be something to be proud of, it doesn't really belong in a professional description.

    OK I have watched the Snooki punch clip a few times and the one thing I am surprised with is that the only one that is in there, defending Snooki is ShamWoww. I thought for sure the guys in the house would beat the snot out of her assailant but I don't really see them in any of the clips other than running after him when the cops have already shown up?

    "No Country for Old Men" was a pile of cack. Book, film, whatever. Well-acted as a movie, to be sure--but essentially dishonest misanthropic twaddle featuring...The Unstoppable Killer (tm)!!! Yes, when your killing needs are piling up and you just don't have time to dispatch major, minor and completely background characters, try Unstoppable Killer! Shoot him! Club him! Knife him! Subject him to a shit 1970s haircut! Nothing stops Unstoppable Killer! Satisfaction guaranteed or he'll kill you too!

    Now in boot-black and utter bullshit flavors.

    I mean, please. Jason Voorhees was a more convincing moral catalyst.

    Oh, Brian, be still my 80's heart. A Real Genius reference AND Pat frigging Benatar! Way too good for this show about goofball, sex-starved, mini-adults with personality issues, and poor copulation methods.

    Also, I'm losing all Guido-driven respect for Ronnie. This whole girlfriend/decade long marriage thing he has going on with Quizno's Sammi is just a show killer. The emoting, the crying, the Dawson's Creek angst beyond all reason...yeah, fucking awful. He was marginally funny when he berated the other dudes for having no game and relatively comfortable in his steroid-y ability to "pull" all unsuspecting guidettes, despite atrocious dance floor spazz. I'm almost positive he'd be a better wingman than either Paulie D. Winkledink and The Catastrophe. (And him in a towel...uh, fuck, was hot.) So I'm team, Ronnie/Sammi-Applebee's Slider...divorce. And somebody better look for Vinnie and make sure that dude didn't drown or something.

    I'm predicting Snooki/Vinnie hook up! Why? Why not? That little event should get them both about eight minutes airtime. (Never want to see Snooki doing munchkin whore-flips again.)

    @Spirit Fingers: Well judging strictly from next week's previews, your wish for Ronnie may come true.

    I just don't understand how in just a few short days, they have lost a roommate, been in two fist fights, gotten drunk countless times, had two pukers, been late to work twice (Even though they live DIRECTLY ABOVE the store), started a fire, had a soak in the hot tub 5-6 times, and one couple has already fallen in love. How can all this happen so quickly!?

    @TNT Freckles McGee: I know right? It's like living 30 years in one episode. I swear I won't be surprised if a child is conceived, sent to college, married, and returns to the Jersey Shore during the same summer to party with his parents who still remain there. It's like time elapsed filming. Guido's have control over the time/space continuum, Marty!

    @Spirit Fingers: This is one of the reasons why I firmly believe it is the greatest reality show of our time. I also like how there are even people infiltrating the house - like that Ron/Russ character who macks it with Snooki, but was really sent by Jhownowbrowncow's boyfriend to spy on her. Crazy!

It really is like Real World 1992 all over again. Groundbreaking. I'm sorry, the bar has been eclipsed and now all others have to live up to Jersey Shore in sheer shock and awe. The best part...the absolute BEST part... these kids are completely SERIOUS!

    Ahhh, the old Aunt Flo's in town excuse. I've had to use that one a couple of times. No man will question that excuse. The only downside is they may request a blowjob. That's when you have to pretend that the stomach cramps are kicking in and you have double over pretending to be in excruciating pain. This usually cools his jets.

    I really, really hate to say this...but if it wasn't for the stylistic choices that make Pauly so visually absurd, he wouldn't be such a bad dude. I cracked up when he stopped halfway up the stairs to the roof deck and went to bed. I'd have done the same. The blonde girl was unbearable.

    Is it bad that I'm starting to sympathize with some of these people? Ack!

    @FitnessMadeSimple: HAHA! I was drinking hot chocolate while watching this last night and I fully spit it out when Pauly just straight up turned around, ditching that chick.

    She was a hater for sure. But she was right when she told her friend, "You don't want to do this. Believe me." I've had friends do this to me, and while I'm pissed at them at the moment, I appreciate that they care enough to save me from drunkenly hooking up with some gross dude.

    @FitnessMadeSimple: She was unbearable, but I would've probably acted like a total B if I were in the same sitch.

    Then again, I would never be in that sitch in the first place, so maybe she should think about reevaluating her life choices. When and why did she end up hanging out with that pseduo-guidette girl? Why did she sign a waiver to be seen with these clowns on national tv? What thought process takes you from "let's do shots" to "I'm going to drive home"?

    I don't think she was busted, she was just too pasty for them. And yeah, it was nice of her to save her friend, but sometimes friends don't want to be saved.

    I also found it extremely rude of her to dump all over that glorious sexxytime jacuzzi. That thing is magical! Like Sex Panther on 'roids or something!

    @sfBirdie: Exactly. You get it. The fact that she was in that situation in the first place means she gets no sympathy.

    She seemed totally into the idea of hanging out at first...remember, they went and sought out the guys after being ditched. Still not even sure how they found the place, since the guys even seemed confused about that. So she had plenty of time to save her friend in between getting ditched and stalking them/entering their house uninvited. She didn't seem to have a problem with that at all...certainly didn't look like her friend was twisting her arm. If that was the case, I'd be sympathetic to her bitchiness.

    @FitnessMadeSimple: That was the most puzzling part to me! Why would you hunt down a bunch of leather frogs after they ditched you for a freaking car? You know, if she and her friend had taken a good look at The Situation, they would've realized that getting ditched was probably for the best anyway.

    Brian, you forgot to include "Knock a bitch up" in this glossary. It should be included, lest someone watch Jersey Shore and get the impression that Sammi wants to impregnate a bitch, rather than physically assault her.

    You know, I actually watched this for the first time last night, if only to see Snooky or whatever get popped in the face. I like watching someone beat on an expired poon balloon as much as the next axe-murderer, but what I noticed is that they don't seem to have a problem conjugating anything besides the English language.

    Or maybe not, these people all look alike to me.

    We need Betty White to put on a pink pantsuit and say: "Ronnie and Sam smushed and vibed, and DJ Pauly's Prince Albert was almost in a can, because Shamwowowow is not legit with her man. Even when vibin', no one should be grindin' unless there's house music on. That's when it's time to battle! Battle the beats on the floor, battle a bathroom door, and do battlin' backflips in a thong like a whore.

    So get down to business and put it in the equation, kid! Don't fuck around and waste my time or I'll make you LOVE the situation."

    Then, Ms White should point a massive Glock at the camera, and pull the trigger. (The safety will be on.) After the scary click, she should blow a kiss to the camera and whisper "Booyah, Snookie!"

    It occurs to me that there is an upcoming issue of Spooge or Jizz or some such magazine that will be doing a pictorial on the the women of Tiger Woods. And the good money says that the title will be something along the lines of "The Ladies and the Tiger" or "Wood Nymphs: A Tasty Pictorial Four Holes Short of a Round."
