By now, everyone has heard the news that Lindsay Lohan is suing eTrade because they named a “milkaholic” baby “Lindsay” in one of their talking baby commercials.
This is so ridiculous, I don’t even know where to begin.

SPOILER ALERT (for James)
Another great episode of Lost last night.  Once again, we didn’t get a lot of answers, but we got some more things to ponder, and some really great character moments as well.  Such as:
