Life can be disappointing when you’re a college student, especially when your hooker doesn’t do her… um, job. (more)

1.) It’s official: Everybody hates Genachowski’s plan to regulate the Internet — And yes, we do mean everybody: The lefty nutters at Free Press, former comic Al Franken, Republican FCC Commissioner Robert M. McDowell, and now, a group of Senate Republicans. The beef from the left–Franken, Free Press, and the supposed two million Americans who accidentally signed petitions thinking they were entering a contest for free Krispy Kreme–is that FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s proposed framework does not do enough to control the Internet. For instance, liberals are unhappy that cable companies would still have incentives under Genachowski’s policy to invest in creating faster, stronger, and better services, access to which could be priced at a higher rate than existing Internet services. Meanwhile, Republicans and McDowell are concerned about what the regulations would do–namely, establish “an unjustified and unnecessary expansion of government control over private enterprise.” In the middle of it all is Genachowski, a bureaucrat with the heart of a Marxist and the vertebral integrity of a plane-crash survivor. The FCC votes on Dec. 21. Don’t miss it. (more)

After recently reading about an artist who created multi-colored bacon in the New York Daily News, I made a discovery that changed my life: There’s a website called  BaconToday.com, which offers “Daily Updates on the World of Sweet, Sweet Bacon.” There you can find sweet treats, like maple bacon ice cream, or read about a bacon marriage proposal. Think no one’s dumb enough to get a bacon tattoo? You’re wrong, and BaconToday.com has the photo. Or buy the Bacon Freak cookbook (subtitle: “Bacon is Meat Candy”). And when the rest of the media is stuck on the goings on at BP and in Afghanistan, only BaconToday.com will give you the story that San Francisco is trying to make Mondays meatless. Oh, the horror. (more)

I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Los Angeles, where I was taping panel discussions for the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” episodes airing on TV Guide Network. When “work” means sitting around a table with Susie Essman, Rich Eisen, Dave Foley and Jo Koy, talking about whether sex is the ultimate consolation or if Koreans really do eat dog, as Larry David asserts in the series, I’m not sure we shouldn’t redefine the concept of “a job.” I was just happy not to talk about BP for a minute—the rest was icing. And for the record, alcohol, not sex, is the ultimate consolation. (more)

Good evening, from the Oval Office. (more)

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something moo?

A teenage boy in Bali tried to have sex with a cow and had to pay the consequences. The town elders caught Ngurah Alit, 18, trying to romp naked with the cow in a field, and they decided to punish him by making him marry the animal in front of hundreds on onlookers. According to My Fox Dallas-Ft. Worth, Alit said that he had fallen in love with the animal when it “seduced him” with flattering comments. (more)

Last week I went on a much-needed vacation. When I tweeted as much, I was bombarded with a number of apoplectic and judgmental queries, wondering why, exactly, I needed a break. It seems as though because I get to hang out with Michael Waltrip at NASCAR races, flit about the networks in high heels feigning outrage, speak to college students (read: drink with college students) and pen horrifically self-indulgent diary entries about, well, nothing of any consequence, that my job isn’t the kind of thing one needs an occasional respite from. I assure you, this is all very hard work. (more)

After her most recent scandal, it appears that the Duchess of York wants to rebuild her name. This time, she wants to do it on the dance floor. The New York Daily News reports that the Duchess wants to tango onto ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in order to entertain her kids. If she got the spot, we doubt the Royal family will make guest appearances. (more)

A New York animal shelter is appealing to the public to donate their Viagra — to keep a pitbull with a heart condition alive, the New York Daily News reported Sunday. (more)

If you’re like me, you can’t get enough of all the juicy gossip surrounding Japan’s Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, who’s stuck with an embarrassing 24 percent approval rating. The reasons are myriad, and his certifiably insane wife is definitely one of them—she says she gets energy boosts by “eating the sun.” But the nail in the coffin may be the shirt he recently wore to a cookout, which caused a national uproar. Yes, seriously. (more)

First, dear readers, I want to apologize for neglecting my Daily Caller Diary the past week or so. There’s no excuse, really, but that won’t stop me for offering one (or two). In addition to obsessively monitoring the Amazon rankings of my new book, I also wrapped up a grueling and rewarding journey of discovery in pursuit of my graduate degree. And it only took six years! After successfully defending my thesis (coming to a bookstore near you one day soon!), I am officially a Master of Religious Studies. Please address me accordingly—that means you, too, Mom. (more)
