November 3, 2010 No CommentLawrence “Crazy Larry” O'Donnell was back to his former self during MSNBC's Election Night coverage Tuesday. During the 9 p.m. EDT hour O'Donnell claimed that if Rand Paul would not vote as senator to raise the debt ceiling, it would destroy the United States' credit rating and possibly spark a worldwide depression. O'Donnell also pressed House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on the matter. After Cantor refused to give O'Donnell a direct answer to his oddball question, the frustrated MSNBC host ranted that he didn't want to see Cantor on MSNBC again. In the beginning segment, O'Donnell was giving commentary after live coverage of Rand Paul's victory speech.

November 3, 2010 No Comment
We received an interesting email from Ripxx this morning, stating that due to an unprecedented outpouring of comments on our previous post for its sports GPS , the company’s gone and developed its very own iPhone app. That’s right, instead of planning your ski trips around a piece of dedicated hardware, you can now do it on the same device you use to read Texts From Last Night while sitting on the loo.
