I’ve been hunting for this clip for a few years now, and thankfully, it’s finally surfaced on the internet. It features an on-air squabble between Good Day New York anchor Jim Ryan and his man-on-the-street, Howie. Two parts awkward, one part delightful. Via BWE

And That's Why You Don't Pet Lions
Common sense and some sort of innate, animal instinct tells us that when it comes to lions, we humans should probably keep our distance. However, someone forgot to pass along the memo to British school teacher Kate Drew, who on a recent safari, opted to get up close and personal with the big cats, thinking …
Bring Allison Back!
This week, Big Brother is allowing the viewers to vote one cast member back into the house, and based on the drama that it will stir up, I am officially endorsing Allison as America’s Choice. The reasons are simple: she’s smart, she’s manipulative, and she can stir up trouble like none other. Plus, wouldn’t you …
