BlastFurniss Woman of the Year

Everybody has their "man of the year" or "sportsman of the year." Why no "woman of the year" award? Why are the ladies being denied these meaningless honors? Well baby you've come a long way! It is my pleasure to right this wrong. It is with great honor that I bestow the inaugural BlastFurniss award for Woman of the Year to Giada de Laurentiis.

I can think of no one more deserving of such an honor than the lovely host of the Food Network show Everyday Italian. I didn't even let Ms. de Laurentiis participation in the unnecessary 4th hour of the Today show sway me from giving her this honor. No sir (or madam)...this gal is the single best reason to justify the existence of the Food Network. I've obviously never tasted anything she's prepared in the kitchen, but you can tell just by looking at her that she's quite the dish.

The BlastFurniss will be shut down on Christmas Day and New Year's Day but I continue to spew crap among the masses every other day. Sometime next week I'll unveil my predictions for 2008. Jeanne Dixon ain't got nothin' on me. If you want to know who the first ten celebrities to die in 2008 will be, this is the place to find out. Wanna know the name of the next president of the US of A? Be here next week.
