The Worst Kitchen Appliances

These are the dumbest kitchen appliances in existence. If you get one you'll probably use it once before it ends up in a yard sale five years down the road.

Cupcake Maker: This takes the cake for a dumb idea, especially since 99% of households in already America have one. You may have heard it referred to as an oven. Seriously, what's the point of this? You still have to make the batter and this only cooks seven at a time!

Quesadilla Maker: Why would anyone shell out their money for this? Again, most people already have a Quesadilla Maker, it's called a Frying Pan!

Whoopie Pie Maker: A Whoopie pie is essentially two thin cakes with frosting in between them. It's a simple dessert that does not require a special machine. Buy pans made for whoopie pies instead and forget this half baked machine.

Hot Dog Steamer: This has to be one of the wurst appliances ever! Hot Dogs are good, but having a dedicated machine to make them?

LincPun



Many pundits have been talking about how turn around Ford's struggling Lincoln brand, here are my ideas..

Lincoln has been on cruise control for too long. In order to get back on the road to success, someone needs to get in the driver's seat, take the wheel and reverse course.

The brand doesn't just need a tune-up, it needs a full overhaul. It needs a vehicle that will shock the world. They need to let the designers strut their stuff and green-light a car that doesn't let form take a backseat to function. A car like this would fuel passion from within, spark other interesting vehicles and be an engine for future development. A car like this would shift the company into overdrive and get it firing on all cylinders again.

It could be a bumpy road though… If distributor issues or bad timing come into play it could exhaust resources. If that happens Ford may not have enough left in the tank to keep Lincoln going.

He Gave Pizza Chance


Disappointed with how his life had panned out, John decided to open a pizza franchise.

The company told him he would be rolling in the dough in no time. They told him this was the way to the upper crust lifestyle he had always wanted.

Unfortunately, the company failed to deliver. Topping it all off, was the fact that he had to dish out his own money to cover payroll and other expenses. All of this turmoil mushroomed into depression and John never got his piece of the pie.

This little slice of life can teach olive us a lesson.

Jets Take Shot on Plaxico Burress

The Jets pulled the trigger on signing troubled wide receiver Plaxico Burress. They bit the bullet and offered him a one year, 3 million dollar deal.

I personally think they jumped the gun on Plaxico, and will end up shooting themselves in the foot with this contract.

Either way, the Jets are getting a lot of bang for their buck out of this signing.
