I think I’ll do some housework today.
More modern men are unable to complete traditional male tasks, new research shows Generation Y women can’t do the chores their mothers and grandmothers did daily, reports The Courier-Mail.
Only 51 per cent of women under 30 can cook a roast, compared with 82 per cent of baby boomers.
Luckily, they have other skills.

Mattel’s Magic 8 Ball, that fascinating decision maker for the “I don’t know” crowd (you know who you are). What’s inside, you ask? Signs point to me telling you.
Inside that little black sphere is an icosahedron… here’s a nice rotating one. And no, Tippi Icosahedron was not in “The Birds.” (Sorry, Morgan.)
There are, you math whizzes know, 20 possible answers inside the ball…
● It is certain
● It is decidedly so
● Without a doubt
● Yes – definitely
● You may rely on it
● As I see it, yes
● Most likely
● Outlook good
● Signs point to yes
● Yes
● Reply hazy, try again
● Ask again later
● Better not tell you now
● Cannot predict now
● Concentrate and ask again
● Don’t count on it
● My reply is no
● My sources say no
● Outlook not so good
● Very doubtful
I would like to add my own 20 answers to a Magic 8-Ball, inspired by my sage grandmother, who had all the answers:
- Why you asking me?
- Do I bother you with such nonsense?
- You think I know?
- Yeah, sure, if you think so.
- You really want my answer?
- Ich vais nisht!
- You need to ask?
- Go know!
- I have no idea.
- You already know the answer.
- Sit down until you know.
- You really want an answer from a plastic ball?
- I never thought about it.
- Ask him!
- Ask her!
- Why ask?!
- If you have to ask…
- Seriously, you’re a putz.
- I’m not in the mood for your questions.
- Why?
The 8-Ball, as we know it now, was created in 1950. But the original gizmo was invented by one Albert C. Carter, who based the original design on one his clairvoyant mother used. Then a guy named Max Levinson and his brother-in-law Abe Bookman partnered with Alabe Crafts in 1946, and they sold it as the Syco-Seer. Not a good name, although they had it inside a glitzy crystal ball. Brunswick Billiards turned it into the 8 ball in 1950. Mattel somehow got a hold of it.

Jennifer’s estranged husband, Marc Anthony, above… and below, the star of her last music video, William Levy… with whom she is rumored to be having an affair. Rumored. They deny.
Tough choice.

I made this Nicolas Cage pic a little smaller so as not to sicken anyone who may have just eaten breakfast… or lunch or dinner. Actually, he looks kind of nauseated, doesn’t he? Oh, he always looks like that. Right.
How many Cage movies have I not seen? Let’s see… I believe I got through the first reel of “Raising Arizona,” and a half hour of “Con Air” while flipping channels in a hotel room. That’s it.
So I won’t be seeing “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” when it opens July 14th at a theatre near you… or ever. Nice weave, though.

That harebrained know-nothing from Alaska began her book-signing tour with a stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where hundreds awaited her arrival.
As you can see by her fan’s sweater, most of these people have absolutely no clue. Hence, their heroine, Sarah Palin.
One report today said she stands to make $24 million on this book. Life, my friends, isn’t fair. Boycott this right wing crazy whenever possible.

Sarah Palin, mother of unwed mother Bristol Palin, is the perfect representative of the failed Republicans and allegedly religious right; she’s an imbecile who, like Heidi and Spencer (also neo-conservative trash), is seeking to extend her TVQ by taking umbrage at beloved American comic David Letterman, based on some half-baked Alaska morality that she clearly fakes.
Now she has a cause. Dave.
Following the moose-hunting moron with an idiot move, Embassy Suites (part of Hilton) has pulled their ads from Dave’s show. This means I will never stay in another of their hotels. Just like I never went to JCPenney again after they pulled their ads from the “Ellen” sitcom when she came out (now they occasionally sponsor her talk show… times change).
Horrid beauty queens always get their comeuppance (see Carrie Prejean), and Palin is soon to get hers as she finds herself the tundra-bound queen manque of a tragic campaign that trumpeted its own inanity with the giddiness of a constipated bus driver… oh, wait, that was McCain.
Then again, I kinda hope the Republicans put her up against Obama in 2012, because we need the comedy.

Moronic Miss California USA Carrie Prejean was dumped by Donald Trump yesterday after she continued to behave like a coozette to pageant officials. Some beyotches just nevah learn.
I fully expect that she’ll now make a smooth transition to television news, where bubble blondes prosper, or get knocked up by execs. She may even be nominated to run as Veep with the Republican presidential candidate in 2012. Them haters love them some dumbass beauty queens!
She’s got everything the Republicans like — she’s a churchgoer, a gay-hater, although there is that pesky little problem of her mom maybe bein’ a lesbo, that can be difficult, especially when they keep makin’ passes at your fellow contestants.
So it’s onward for Carrie, as she becomes a spokesho for the John Birchers, or a contestant on a Trinity game show, or just another hairsprayed former beauty queen who has to marry some dumb football player for a meal ticket. Karma, peeps, is a beyotch.

Congratulations to the phenomenal Tyler Hinman, 24, (left), who for the fifth year in a row is the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament winner.

This was the 32nd annual tournament, organized by New York Times Crossword Editor Will Shortz (above right).
