A cozy couch, a bowl of popcorn, and a warm dog in front of a great movie seem like a much better way to spend today than cooped up in an office downtown, watching this soup dribble down on the city.
Tuesday Afternoon Diversion: We Should Have Stayed Home Today
Last "Instants:" Watch These Movies While You Can
We don't think you should necessarily cancel any plans for the next few days, but a whole heap of Criterion Collection titles are about to expire on Netflix.

Friday Afternoon Diversion: A Sarah Palin Thanksgiving
Sarah Palin gives an interview in front of a not-so-friendly setting: a turkey grinder. This video has been making the rounds in one form or another, so here it is without the blurs. So we'll add a big, old DISCLAIMER and warn you that it's not for the weak of stomach and if you haven't eaten lunch yet, you're better off waiting until later to watch it.
America, Your Drunkest City is ... Denver?
In honor of our unofficial national holiday of drinking, St. Patrick's Day, we thought we'd peruse Men'sHealth Magazine's recent list of America's Drunkest Cities. Top of the list? Denver, followed by Anchorage, Colorado Springs, Omaha and Fargo. Our neighbors to the north in Milwaukee come in at #10. Our fair city comes in at 39th overall, 13th in binge drinking, and 17th in DUI arrests. At least, we think so, as their method of ranking seems kind of convoluted. The magazine provides their methods of figuring out the rankings, though there's no mention of how the performance of a city's professional sports teams affect the rankings.
