The four #1s, in order: Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Syracuse. Discuss away. Brackets forming now! Share on Facebook Share on Facebook Former Kansas City Star (and current Sports Illustrated) scribe Joe Posnanski wrote the following column October 7, 2006 — the day after his friend (and frequent subject) Buck O’Neil passed away at 94. I share it with you today because I shared it with some morons college students this morning and the resulting non-reaction hurt more [...] I confess: I am so in the tank for Jay Leno, I may actually be the tank. Loved him when he appeared on the old Letterman show (back when they were buddies), and he had his own segment (“Jay’s Beef”), where he would gripe eloquent on his sore subject du jour. Then I started catching his stand-up. [...] No embedding available just yet, so please go check out the trailer here. Needless to say, looks pretty damn awesome! Share on Facebook Because in Son of Miracle on Ice, he blocked 42 shots. Forty-two. Shots. Because if you haven’t watched in the 30 years since (Thirty years. Since.), check out Team USA in Wednesday’s quarterfinals. Because there’s finally a reason to watch MessNBC. Because, did I mention, forty-two freaking shots??!?!! Share on Facebook Because he’s now the most-decorated U.S. Winter Olympian, ever. Because he did it in the most uproarious of events: short-track speedskating. Because sure: Eric & Bonnie have more Winter golds. But they never had to do it with someone grabbing their ass. Because he was also the best Dancing With The Stars champion. Watch this ice skater’s leap [...] Continuing with Oscar-bait Watch 2010… The Academy is known for handing their Little Man to the right performer a year (or twenty) after the right performance. This is called the “Whoops! Our bad” Award. Edited for further explanation: This is not a list of people who should have won but didn’t. (that was a previous 3D5) Or [...] She died yesterday. Kiss Me, Kate is my favorite movie musical; one of my favorite scenes in film history is Kath & Howard Keel waltzing & singing to Wunderbar. Utterly unforgettable. Thanks for the memories. Love to your family. What a great chorus there is in heaven today! Share on Facebook – or at the very least, I’m saying it to my students tomorrow. Dick Cheney Drives CPAC Wild With Killer Quote: “I Will Bathe In Your Blood Before the Children of Babylon!!!” Because a certain short-track star was going to be first, until I saw this: Because America’s all about Second Acts. And he didn’t blow his. Because I like how he embraced the spirit of the Olympics this time ’round. Because this should be an all-nude shot after what I was forced to witness “below the fold” earlier on [...] At least the Repubs were polite enough to stay awake. I saw the foto of JNo (our crack DHS sec’y) with both eyes shut. Hey Janet! Woulda been my response to it too. Must be why they asked Bob McDonnell, and not me, to give the response. By the way, Barry: a big two fingers up for [...] Because while trolling the ‘net for naked pictures of Chad Kroeger — my attempt to lure June Cleaver out of hiding — I came across these guys. And my heart stopped. Because I never would’ve predicted those sweet, dorky little long-haired Leif Garrett-lookalikes would age so verrrry nicely. Because their breakout bubblegum hit (“Mmm Bop “) is more [...] I confess to having no dog in this hunt. In fact, all due respect, I’d be okay with all four of ‘em losing. But I am very fond of love adore light a small candle & chant to a picture of his dad, so he wins the money shot. Bring on March Madness. In the meantime, chat away.
In a snit the other day, and arguing with a friend (male) about the inability of his sex to understand the erotic appeal of the written word. ” ‘fraid we’re all visual, Luv,” he dismissed me, airily. ”Dear Penthouse Forum…” notwithstanding, I guess that’s true. But just like little girls sometimes like to dress themselves up in [...] Because a few weeks ago, not even conservative pundits gave him a snowball’s chance in hell of pulling this off, and refused to do any water-carrying because of it. And he’s ahead anyway. Because he kind of looks like Richard Gere here, and I am down with that. Because his opponent is a cloth-eared doofus who embarrasses [...] Because those who only know him as Mr. Chips are missing a lot of other cookies. Because this amazing, gentle Englishman acted in only 19 films, but left an indelible mark on his medium. Because of the look on his face as he confesses to love at first sight (“You turned around…and I was lost…”) in Knight [...] Since the New Year is always ripe with the possibility that, among other things, something as exciting as what these characters live through, could actually happen: 5. Han Solo (Harrison Ford, Star Wars): Sometimes the Hero’s Best Friend is way cooler than the hero. And, p.s., “A New Hope” should refer to a Bob movie you haven’t yet seen; [...] Because his Doctor Who is coming to “The End of Time” this Saturday on BBCAmerica. Because he’s done more for trench coats than anyone since Bogart. Because his Tenth Doctor blew life into a creaky sci-fi series with intensity, humor, and crackling chemistry with his leading ladies. Because his Hamlet’s pretty good too. Because he’s proof that every woman [...] edited to add: Hewonhewonhewonhewonhewonwonwon!!!!! A favorite story of mine involves two great storytellers in their own right: Garson Kanin was chatting with David Niven and mentioned in passing something to the effect of, “Now that we’re both middle-aged men…” Niven said, “What are you talking about?” and Kanin admitted he’d just turned 55 the day before. “And how [...] Because here’s the reason Sarah’s always smiling: Because he’s further proof (because I say it’s so) that Conservative women love sex. Because there are Conservative men like him. Because I’ve been thinking about Republican spouses lately, and noticing that, while supportive, they all seem to have their own lives…they’re not really into that “Two-for-One”/policy-making/job-whoring-out thing that some [...] Okay, Stones fans, you won the Weekend 5…But this one’s for me. The song remains the same! He makes Eddie Vedder look like Josh Groban. Jimmy Page: a Hubba for the Ages! Share on Facebook Because, after a season of blah, he brought Mad Men back to life in the finale. Because his portrayal of adman Roger Sterling — is exactly that. Because his character’s true love is Joan Holloway; further proof that he’s the smartest guy in the room. (He didn’t marry her, though — proof he’s also the dumbest. Of [...] Because Rich might be speaking to him at this moment, and happen to mention that he’s a 3D pin-up, and I don’t want him to have any trouble finding himself. Because I’d do those Fox boys alphabetically. But I’d start with him. Because he’s so much better than his caricature at Weekly Standard. Because until Jonah gets [...] Because decency is the new black. Because I’m so very fond of that hangdog, hound dog mien. Because his voice. And those hands! Make me swoon. Because he was the best, and the last, of the great news anchors. Because even after suffering unspeakable tragedy, he stayed on and did his job, and did it with grace and honor, [...] Because he’s proof that Fox has the Real Men Market cornered: he was in the U.S. Army. Because he turned a 30-second gig into superstardom. Because he manages to be macho and pixie-ish all at once. Because he dries off the all-wet of the nightly news. Because “That’s all I got.” Share on Facebook Because sometimes you just have to state the obvious. Because he’s always in a good mood. How is this possible? Because we are exactly the same age, and now that Di and John-John are gone, it’s up to us to hold the fort for Attractive Sexy People Born in 1961. Because, as opposed to his inferiors counterparts on [...] *as I was running, screaming, out the door… Love this guy. Here’s from “Tweet Tracker” at NRO: @jimgeraghty Just to clarify, the administration says they will treat Fox News as “an opponent” while they say the Taliban is not a “direct threat”? Share on Facebook Because who BondJamesBond can only dream of being, he just…is. Because he’s The Conservative Woman’s dream date: gorgeous, sexy, tough on national security, and anyone gives you trouble, he kills with his bare hands. Because as opposed to our lib sisters, we like sex, and he’s a walking ad for “Know Your Orgasm.” Because he’s Mikefreakin’Baker! how did [...] Because he taught me all I know about misdirection (and Siegfried & Roy taught him). Proof? it’s not him in the bathtub: Because he’s hosted the weirdest & best show on TV (Red Eye) since February 2007. Because he’s made Conservatism cool for the punk crowd. And unicorns. Because even his serious (*cough*boring!*cough*) guests catch on to [...] Because he’d never put Baby in the corner. Because he loved Lisa for 34 years, Jennifer before her nose job, Demi before her plastic surgery, and Whoopi when she was funny. Because I had to add my own to the previous salutes here. With his death at 57, I mourn my lost youth, all over again. Because I [...] Because the real sports season has begun. Because I have cuter pictures of him in my locker, but I like the action shots better. Because he’s a new coach and a new start. For any fan with any team in any sport, that’s Hope Personified. Because I’ve loved him ever since I watched him verbally bitchslap a Cardinals [...] Because I need to swim in the deep end of the pool of testosterone sometimes. Because as Don Draper on AMC’s salute-to-the-60s-Madison Avenue-style Mad Men, he’s the show’s amoral center. With, strangely, a stronger moral code than any of the other characters. Because he plays a chain-smoking compulsively unfaithful lying S.O.B. with a dick streak a mile wide. [...] Because I’m all about diversity. Tovey plays a werewolf — not a vamp — on Being Human. Because as the unwilling, whining, brilliant Wolf Man, he brings comic pathos to the house where his best friends — a vampire and a ghost — also dwell. Because he played John Chivery in the multiple-Emmy-nominated Little Dorrit — and [...] Because I’m catering to my fanbase today. Because he plays Mitchell the Vampire on BBC America’s new series, Being Human which is, two episodes in, my new favorite thing. Because he’s also, my new favorite thing. Because Mitchell’s more about the friendships with his roommates George (the Werewolf) and Annie (the Ghost) than he is about brooding. Because he’s [...] Because there’s just something about a vampire. Because Moyer’s steely-eyed, emotionally troubled, conscience-ridden, lovestruck Confederate soldier-turned-vampyre Bill Compton is actually the moral center of True Blood — the hilarious HBO porno hour by American Beauty’s Alan Ball. Because I’m quite sure he’s not liberal, Bush-hating Alan Ball’s idea of a hero. Because we need to post something [...] Because as the blog pottymouth, of course I’m gonna love this guy. Because someone had to call Cap & Trade what it is. Thank goodness it was one of our guys. Because I love the smell of testosterone in the morning. Because Ohio suddenly took its share of the covers. May it last through 2012! Share on Facebook Today is supposedly “National Man Day”. You’re supposed to do manly things today. Do we really need this? Between Father’s Day coming up, Veteran’s Day, and opening day of NFL/NCAA football seasons it seems like overkill. Having a “special day” seems like something for wimmin. Even Father’s Day was some [...] Because the Supremes have been on my mind lately. For some reason. Because he’s from the Bill Self School of “Whitebread Can Be Yummy!” Because as re: his reaction to an SC overturn of Red Sonia…I wasn’t there, but it sounds like he rolled his eyes over her judgement, and I love him for that. Because apparently Jeffrey Toobin just write [...] Be advised that Blackhawk has been spotted commenting at Big Hollywood. A little somethin' for the ladies… All personnel to your stations—this is not a drill. (I’m sure he would have posted at Threedonia first, but accessing the site today is like trying to pry a Ring Ding out of Rosie O’Donnells maw.) Share on Facebook Because I just noticed a lack of blondes in my Hall of Men. Because as the new Masterpiece Mystery detective Kurt Wallander, he’s made me forget Tennison and Morse, all in the power of his first episode. Because it’s Branagh and Depp who deserve the multiple Oscars, dammit — not Penn and Day-Lewis! Because it’s proof that we sixties babies aged [...] Because he gives hope to teenage dorks everywhere. Check out Can’t Buy Me Love. Same guy! Because he’s been the romantic lead in a Top 10-drama for five years now, without landing his tight ass in the tabloids. Because he’s on the race car circuit. And is not a dick about it. Because he’s grateful to his fanbase, and shows [...] I don’t see any special undergarments around here. From the L.A. Times story: Hardy, 32, is the creator of “Men on a Mission,” a calendar series that sends up the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with photographs of hunky former missionaries in poses, characters and settings familiar to the faithful. Like adults of many [...] Edited so the photo doesn’t remind our June of Ward’s freak-out. Plus, I like this one better. Because his looks sneak up on you. Like his performances. And, suddenly: BAM! you’re hooked… Because few men would’ve been up to the task of playing Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice after Colin Firth made it his own, with one [...] |
