In case you haven't noticed, our country is, for lack of a better expression, in the shitter. The economy blows, gas prices are off the chains, people can't afford to pay their mortgages and the most exciting news we've heard in the last few months is that Mini-Me has a sex tape. You'd think that, in a time of crisis like this, the government would step in and take action. But no! Instead, they added insult to injury when they denied Boy George a work visa so he could rock all of your red, gold and green asses on a 30-day tour of our country's purple mountained majesty. Not surprisingly, this news affected our youngest staffer, the eternally rosy cheeked Molly McAleer, in a profound way. Won't you mourn with us as you watch this evening's To Do's? That is all.
