RT Margoandhow Re Galliano, Assange, Sheen, et al, Colbert suggests a new show:”Who wants to be a millionaire who blames their problems on the Jews?”

In poll 83% responded to question “Oy, family?” with “Oy, family!” 17% responded with “Oy, family? Family, GEVALT!”

Worst advice ever: http://bit.ly/g3nClp. Everyone calls it wrong sometimes but this level of cluelessness is downright actionable.

RT dixewills Watch 127 Hours backwards and it’s a heartwarming story about a disabled man who finds an arm in a canyon.

RT j_zimms Yoga teacher told us he just went to “a monster anatomy workshop.” I can’t see how that’s helpful.

UPDATE: MelissaJane pointed out that the Cary Tennis letter was from the brother of a murderer, not the sister. My bad on the gender assumptions! In addition to not reading the LW’s signoff, I hadn’t read Mr. Tennis’s response, either, which I discovered later was amazingly off-base, and roundly castigated as such in the letters.
