In a 1966 review of the new Random House Dictionary, Kurt Vonnegut wrote that the key to understanding a new dictionary was to "look up ain't and like."

Assuming that she is famous, because I have absolutely no idea who she is. 24 star Mary Lynn Rajskub gave birth to a baby boy, Valentine Anthony last Thursday, almost two weeks late.
Valentine weighed in at 9lbs., 5oz and the baby is the couple’s first child for Rajskub, 37, and her boyfriend Matthew Rolph, 28.
Congratulations to the new parents!

Rain is good for some things.We ventured out into the woods ...

Second is Katy Perry’s single ‘I Kissed A Girl,’ sadly we have to wait until September before we can get our hands on this stomping upbeat tune, which has enjoyed 5 weeks at the top of ...
