So, I got an e-mail this afternoon asking me if I’d made up with Putnam County’s serial plagiarist, because they saw I’d left a comment on his blog. … What? No, no. Not his news Web site. His blog. That blog came about last summer after Mark lied and said that he made everybody who [...]

You know, I really wrestled with this post. I even consulted not one, but two, trusted advisers as to whether I should unleash the hounds, and in both cases, it was a resounding, “Yes.” So, the question I asked was, “Does this violate the Mark permaban?” No. The ban isn’t for calling out this absolute [...]

This comes to me from my friend Erin. I actually watched the YouTube video to get the full effect, and I really want to remind everybody there are things you can’t unsee. Parents’ fury as breastfeeding doll for young girls goes on sale Holy lord. I’m so disturbed, I don’t even know where to start. [...]

If you take a little stroll over to the Letters to the Publisher section for August on PutnamLive.com, you’ll see this cartoon: (Before it gets changed and someone accuses me of making things up, feel free to look at this PDF of the site as it was when I pulled it.) You know what struck [...]

One of the things I’ve always wanted  to be was an advice columnist. The people who know me know this has been a dream of mine forever.

You know, things like this just make my day worth it. Just arrived to the ol’ work Inbox: I’ve been trying SO HARD to get back stage for the American Idol show at the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. on August 4. I spent alot of my time & money making Adam Lambert a special [...]

You know, it’s just not even funny anymore. It’s moved from funny to ridiculous. Please check out Mark’s latest attempt at relevance here: Driving Miss Hallburn (Crazy) Apparently, Mark decided to post comments on Lee’s blog as me, and think, in his infinite wisdom, Lee wouldn’t know the difference. Oh, wait, you were just setting [...]

I’m honored to bring you this guest post by Lee, the master of CrypticBullshit.com, who just this morning proved, beyond reasonable doubt, that Mark Hallburn is a huge, giant, epic liar. See, you may remember a controversy a while back where someone Mark wrote a bunch of letters to his news Web site. When he [...]

OK, turns out Mark doesn’t like it that I’ve put the smack down on him littering all over my Web page. Let’s appreciate the irony of this for a second, shall we? Mark objects to not being able to post on my Web site, unfettered, on his own free will, whenever he chooses. However, you [...]
