I was having a tough day at work today. Like one of those “I wish I hadn’t worn eyeliner because my discrete bathroom crying is going to be WAY more noticeable” kind of days. And I did what I always do when faced with an intractable problem: ask myself what Leslie Knope would do. So […]

Ladies and gentleman, I spoke too soon. It was just a few days ago when I wrote: “Britney’s in a great place because if the veto is used by anyone, she should be safe this week.” I, like the rest of Quack Pack, put way too much trust in alliances. After a brutal week, […]

Five Minutes Of Heaven – Bushmills on ice 17. Omagh – Jameson and Ginger 16. Bloody Sunday – Irish Car bomb 15. Michael Collins – Michael […]
Rachael’s already talked about the phenomenal Valentine’s Day episodes from New Girl, How I Met Your Mother, Up All Night and (my personal favourite) The Middle. But the schmoopiest holiday seemed to reach every show on the air this year, so I thought I’d add a few to the list: E) Glee. It’s been weeks […]
