Christopher Duncan of Copiague, NY is thanking his lucky stars that he was born a white, rich, child. This week, his lucky accident of birth earned him a free pass in a federal drug court that fell all over itself to spare him the humiliation of going to prison for knowingly breaking the law.

We here at TMR usually pride ourselves on the ability to wade through the internet’s digital morass of celebrity nonsense, gadget fetishism, and vacuous top-10 lists, to bring you something unique and substantive every day. Today I’m going to have to temporarily surrender.
You see, a certain unnamed former sexpot and pop-star died today. Therefore, there is no other news.
So, it’s that time of year…time to watch some people do some Shakespeare in some Park.
That’s right…today marks the first day of The Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park’s Twelfth Night. They are ALL about bringing that famous bard to the people…for FREE!!! Golly Gee, how nice of them!
I’m SO super excited, this being my favorite play and…OH MY GOD…Anne Hathaway!!! Alright, get out your paper and pen: here are the two simple options for getting free tickets.
Living Forever Really Wouldn’t Be That Bad (Except for the Seven Sets of Teeth), Fruit Fly Empathy Camp, Kidnapping Twins in the Name of Science, Greg Questions the Evolutionary Benefits of Feeling Like Crap, The U.S. Economy = Ponzi Scheme, Time to Reset the Economy (if Storey Gets Paid), Storey Wants neither Science nor Nature nor Anything Else, Humans Aren’t All That Evil (Except When They Are), and Everyone Loves Conspiracies.

I know many would say that voice recognition has come into its own. I know that use of a “speech-enabled system” saves companies money which OF COURSE means price cuts for us the consumers.
BUT I HATE IT!!!!
Well, they did it again. YouTube has allowed another copyright attack on another genius Mep video.
But I swear that's what happened!
Fortunately Brandeis came to its senses about the Rose Museum kerfuffle a few weeks ago, but alumni just got a message from the president which was intended to “clear up some of the misconceptions surrounding these issues.” I only bring it up here briefly because I get annoyed when other factors–meteors, locusts, a terrible flood–get blamed for something instead of the real culprit, in this case the administration itself.

I’ve heard there’s an uproar about Nadya Suleman having octuplets. So, as the resident MEP mother I thought I should weigh in and risk putting my hugely opinionated, extremely feathery opinion out there. However, I don’t want to single out Suleman. Yes I know she’s mentally unbalanced and will soon channel all of Storey’s and Russ’ tax money into more Angelina Jolie lip implants (this should be reason enough to dispise her for ruining my bisexual Jolie fantasies). However, that’s not why we should be alarmed and therefore we should not only focus on her.
