Tracks by Lady GaGa, Hot Chelle Rae, and Deborah Cox make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red), while former big hits by Dev and The Red Hot Chili Peppers drop out. Link-O-Rama is still in effect, so you can click on any of the highlighting artists to go to their website. Yay! The internet tubes are fixed!

Dear Governor Christie, using a pie reference , especially with an "infinite" quality, only highlights your gluttony, dillweed. And talking to the public like an asshole doesn't make you a "straight-talker", but pretty much of a douchebag. Now go away. Toodles, twostepcub

Hey folks, it's time for my first music list of the new year, and thanks for hanging around (or droppin' in). This week Kelly Clarkson takes over the top spot, while the Band Perry (pictured above) moves up in the top-10. Former big hits by Miranda Lambert, Nicole Scherzinger, and Foster The People drop out, while songs by Florence + The Machine, George Strait, and LeAnn Rimes make the biggest jumps (moves of 10+ places highlighted in red ). Link-O-Rama is still in effect, so you can click on any of the highlighted artist names to go to their official website (rightclick, with you can use a different tab or window and keep this up). Happy Birthday, Heather Rose! This Week Song/Artist (last week's position in parentheses) --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Mr. Know It All - Kelly Clarkson (2) 2. We Found Love - Rihanna f/ Calvin Harris (3) 3. Without You - David Guetta f/ Usher (1) 4. Sexy & I Know It - LMFAO (4)

And that, my friends, is ten times more important that the race between Mr. "Man On Dog" and Mr. "Dog On Car" for who's going to lose this November.

I couldn't resist. As we begin the arduous task ahead on choosing who is going to lose the presidency this year, the reality show called the Republican primary made its "Rock Of No Love" tour stop in Iowa today, in a caucus attended by less people than a normal Bon Jovi concert and just as meaningful. I know we should all hold in great awe the power of a state with less people than Brooklyn and Queens, but after seeing week upon week of media and stumpers falling over themselves to see exactly what combination of rascism, homophobia, and jingoism will win over votes of people who consider Applebee's a "haute cuisine dining experience", I'm pretty much over the whole process. And face it, the Republican party has become nothing but a bunch of grown-up bullies, bent on judging and persecuting others not like them (or in many cases, like them). It does surprise me at times how the gay-marriage card can be thrown still (though not for much longer). There is
