Share on Facebook Fitting, the day the United States sets a record for debt in a month ($220 billion, up 14-percent from last year’s already staggering number) we get news from Greece. The Greek government is run by the Socialist party. The Socialist party spent money until it no longer could, resulting in the collapse of its economy [...] …on your Gucci-clad behind. Social Climber Secretary Desiree Rogers is leaving to pursue other opportunities: In a statement released Friday…the Obamas said, “We are enormously grateful to Desiree Rogers for the terrific job she’s done as the White House Social Secretary. When she took this position, we asked Desiree to help make sure that the White House truly [...] February and Ohio coincide with “movie time,” that rare period of the year where one gathers constantly in front of the glowing tubes in one’s family room. Not because of a plethora of quality product descending from Hollywood (maybe in spite of it), but because of the foot and a half of nature’s white depressant [...] Nate Holland is upset at his fellow Olympic snowboarders. Apparently, snowboarders are dressing more “emo” and going with tight pants instead of the baggy look, favored by snowboarders and skateboarders the world over in prior years. This doesn’t sit with Holland because he favors the more “rebellious” look. The problem, according to Holland, isn’t that [...] Who Dat? Apparently there is a bit of a ruckus over who owns the rights to print the words “Who Dat?” on a t-shirt. LA Senator David Vitter claims that the city of New Orleans owns that phrase The NFL is trying to stop a local T-Shirt vendor from making shirts with the phrase saying the Aints [...] “I regret that I have but one ball to give for my country!” Adolf Hitler — Nuremburg 1935. No really?!? And this article on Hitler’s rearguard actions. It’s Hitler medico-palooza! Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Could “Pirates 4″ be an improvement over 2 and 3? Yahoo Entertainment posted a report this weekend stating Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley were both off the project, leaving it to Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush. The two were the main focus of the first, and by far, the best film of the franchise. Bloom [...] Point Blank (1967) This heads up a lineup of films about or filmed at Alcatraz (oddly enough they left out [...] Lady In The Lake (1947) Wanks suggested this one also, but I was already leaning towards it. Pretty thin gruel [...] The Lives Of Others (2006) Tomorrow is the launch of The Daily Caller. Last February, Carlson — the conservative former host or co-host of shows on CNN and MSNBC, and still a Fox News contributor — gave a speech to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in which he urged activists on the right to “copy” the journalistic model of The [...] Libeled Lady (1936) When an heiress sues a newspaper, the editor hires a reporter to compromise her. Look at the cast… like I need to tell you to watch, rent, or record this? I loves me [...] This was posted earlier in the week at Christian Toto’s site. Early in David Zucker’s An American Carol, we’re offered the protagonist Michael Malone, professional film-maker and rabble-rouser, with his heart in the wrong place at the wrong time. Zucker, being the smart guy he is, realized a two-dimensional portrayal of Malone (a stand in for [...] I love watching Hitch debate some soggy-brained lefty about, well, just about anything (except religion). So, after reading the excellent Totten/Hitch discussion that JohnFN linked to, I went in search of some vintage Hitch. The following from MSNBC (of all places!) is classic: 3 against 1 (I’m not counting Buchanan, since he’s a) bats and [...] Chicago Police Department is seriously considering, according to The Chicago Sun-Times, dumping their entrance exam to boost minority hiring. Great. Just great. Good job Chicago. Rich you’re OK from here on out. Cops with Ph.Ds can’t spell your last name. The Chicago Police Department is seriously considering scrapping the police entrance [...] While the private sector has bled jobs to the tune of seven million since 2007, one aspect of employment hasn’t been fazed. The public sector has remained quite steady in retention. From Michael Barone: Private-sector employment peaked at 115.8 million in December 2007, when the recession officially began. It was down to 108.5 million last November. [...] Big, dumb comedies? What’s so dumb about them? I never felt laughing – or a couple hours of escaping the doldrums of the grease and dust of manual labor – was too dumb. I noticed my taste for “dumb comedy” was higher depending on how bad I had it in my current job. If I [...] Share on Facebook (by Greg Gutfeld, host of Fox News’ “Red Eye.”) As President Obama says, let’s be clear: that comical Copenhagen conference wasn’t about science, it [...] What a dreadful decade for music. As bad as the film industry became, popular music is an engine driven by American Idol and the hip-hop fad of the moment. The days of the garage band making it big are all but dead. Any real musician runs to country in hopes of salvaging a career or [...] My major complaint with Barack Obama (I can argue ideology here, but I’m trying to be the journalist) was his lack of ability or interest to lead. People saw bits and pieces of this during the early days after his inaugural – promoting czars instead of cabinet members and leaving whole branches of administration virtually [...] A mixed bag of a year, to say the least. Some gems and surprises here and there, but the big budget films stunk up the place, especially in the wake of Iron Man, The Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder. Here’s to a bright and cheerful 2010. Keep in mind, due to a hectic schedule, my movie [...] O.K., you just finished stuffing yourself with turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and that casserole thing with the green beans and durkee onions. You’ve been on the couch watching College Football, Pro Football, Monk, Project Runway, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, The Phineas and Ferb Christmas Special, Live helicopter feeds of Tiger Woods’ driveway and [...]
Go to your happy place. Over the coming weeks I have a great deal of suggestions for true reform in healthcare and how to implement these reforms but in order for them to be understood you will have to know first and foremost how the current system functions. The most basic building [...] Obama promises 30,000 more troops – and he plans on pulling them out by 2012. Having your cake and eating it too? Didn’t watch the speech, I for one was looking forward to Charlie Brown, but chalk up another victory for liberals in the War Against Christmas (that’s a joke by the way). In his remarks, [...] Day four of Tiger-gate. So far we’ve learned Tiger Woods has an Escalade – black, with custom wheels – and can’t drive well at night, be it at slow speeds through his gated domicile or with his angry wife giving him a pre-botox facial with a 9-iron. The media – which missed the story by 12 [...] The guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 wish us all a Patrick Swayze Christmas… Share on Facebook
It is not earth shattering news for me to tell you that Jesse Jackson is a reverend, but did you also know that he was a Genetic Engineer specializing in cutting edge ethnic identification theories never previously considered? Me neither. Yet on Wednesday November the 18th when Rep. Arthur Davis (D-Ala.) informed the Congressional Black [...] This is really not so much a WTF moment as one where I’d say I hope you aren’t prone to seizure. Long before Piekachoo began putting kids into epileptic fits there was Wang Chung and their video for the song “Everyone Have Fun Tonight”. Be careful! Wang Chung – New Music – More Music [...]

“I, like Byron, have had to wake up one morning and find myself famous.” Historical note: Astute readers may have noticed that I have been featuring some of the lesser-known warriors of the Civil War in this series. Of these, Grierson is [...]
Looks Like Someone Could Stand to Lose a Few Pounds
I am a Capitalist Pig. I believe Milton Friedman was far cooler than Ashton Kutcher, and I believe the free market when left alone can fix anything. In the much ballyhooed debate on healthcare the free market has taken a beating by [...]
Finally a game for manly men! Yes I am the “healthcare guy” but damn it all I love football and am reasonably sure I’ve been playing it since I was a zygote, as such I know a thing or 12 about it and have decided we need a football column. So [...] Somewhere, in between explosions, John Turturro is in the middle of a discussion with robot Jetfire (who happened to be the best Christmas present I ever received). Trying to get to the nuts and bolts of Michael Bay’s epic toy story Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Turturro lets this loose: Let’s not get episodic, okay, old-timer? [...] Dr. Batty is back, with a whole new pile of old-timey pharmeceutical ads for your enjoyment. The good Doctor encourages you to try them all. Not necessarily at the same time, of course. Dr. Batty tried that once and, when he woke up a week later, he was wandering naked down Main Street in Goshen, [...] First off, happy Veterans Day to everyone – especially our own Outlaw. Glad to see the media behind the holiday this year, especially ESPN of all places. One wonders where this support was during the Bush years, but better late than never. Here are some nuggets Tzupek-style. I’m currently sitting on three possible DVD reviews, hopefully [...] Share on Facebook I doubt when this flick was given the big pitch to the studio it was referenced as Pearl Harbor without, you know, Pearl Harbor. In a just world, the meeting would have ended there. Maybe this is a decent movie, maybe it isn’t, but we have all the pieces of a bomb in the making. Dueling [...] Very cool feature from today’s Fox Football Pregame, and not just saying that because my cousin appears at the 47-second mark. More greatness from Howie, Terry and the guys at the site, too, as they broadcast from Afghanistan in honor of Veterans Day. Share on Facebook
Let’s Hug It Out. According to all of the kids and other assorted trendsetters President Obama is in, he is hip, he is cool. I tragically am probably not so cool and as such have decided to take small steps in my life to be more like him. As a first step [...] We all have things we “don’t get,” be it television, automobiles or any of the latest fads permeating our pop culture. With Hollywood more and more ensnared by its own cranium-rectum-inversion, more people feel the town is out of touch. Regardless, here are things I “just don’t get.” 1. The Eagles: For those who considered Creedance [...] Screaming toddlers dominated the news this weekend. Applause to the Southwest Airlines crew that tossed mom and her out-of-control two year old off of a flight on Friday. Boos and hisses to Southwest for apologizing. My unscientific survey conclusively proves that 99.9% of Threedonians are responsible parents who do the work in order to properly [...] Inspired by Mr. Porvaznik’s comment at What Would Toto Watch – just what are the greatest stoner performances of all time? Don’t ask me, man, but here are my favorite. 1. Brad Pitt in True Romance: What movie defined the 90s? Tony Scott’s True Romance. Penned by Quentin Tarantino, the film featured goody after goody: Christian [...] |
