Lord, strike these diversity muthas down (UPDATE)

As the month of November sighs and seethes and reaches its conclusion (with all signs of bleeding into December), is it too much to expect these courthouse workers to be behind their desks on 12/25? Can only hope John Wayne’s looking down and wondering how his beloved Orange County lost its backbone.

The removal [...]

Welcome to Palin-land, Tiger

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 [...]

Criminal Persecutions (BUMPED)

UPDATED 11/30 by Floyd: The Navy SEALS persecution for punching a high value target may be even darker than previously thought if this post is true

Earlier this week, news broke that three Navy SEALs were charged and may be court-martialed for allegedly punching a prisoner. The prisoner, a high-value target (HVT) was turned over [...]

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Will not come Politically Correct nonsense….

Conversation held at the Turbo household this early evening…

Sabrina (age 6): “Mommy, can adults be small like elves?”

Mrs. Turbo: “Yes, Sabrina. Sometimes they are called midgets or dwarfs.”

Sabrina: “Or little people?”

Mrs. Turbo: “Yes. Little people”

Zachary (age 4): “Or Jawas!”

Dumpster Diving

As climategate continues to unfold, this statement from the frauds scientists at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) is positively infuriating precious:

We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.

How convenient. How very, very convenient.

The raw data refers to the [...]

Gee… he doesn’t look a day over 120. Happy Birthday Winston!

Compassionate Conservatism Redux?

Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39; Officers Ronald Owens, 37; Tina Griswold, 40; Gregory Richards, 42.

Most of you have heard by now of the four Lakewood, WA police officers (above) ambushed and killed by an assailant yesterday morning as they were in a coffee shop catching up on paperwork.

Well… it turns out the [...]

Top 5 TV Series — 2000s

Since December is the last month of the first decade of the 21st century it’s time for a bunch of Top 5s to revisit this decade. For this one… a little bleed over is OK. For example, The Sopranos started in 1999 and ended in 2007. Please NOT television movies or miniseries so I’ll [...]

Coming Soon: Blackface from Oil of Olay

Along the lines of Sammy Sosa’s swing for the bleachers I posted last night we have this from India and other Asian markets.

Substitute Saturday Top Five — We’ll have a gay old time

Little late, even for a save, but in light of the Freddie Mercury Biography special I finally cleared out of the TiVo backlog, as good a spot as any for a Top Five. One of the interviewees, standard music biz blowhard and Mercury friend, did the usual modern liberal “Facts? Facts mean nothing to me!” [...]

All the news that’s fit to miss

The old adage “better right and last, than first and wrong” was a verse of near biblical importance in my newsroom. Many a time I didn’t break a story (mainly due to my competition’s later press times and deadlines), but in most circumstances I did a better job of getting the facts out. It [...]

Tony Bennett on Frank Sinatra

Tony Bennett writes on Frank Sinatra in Vanity Fair. Here’s a bit — read the whole thing here.

I remember an evening in the early 1970s when I was appearing at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and I got a phone call from one of Sinatra’s closest musician friends, saxophonist Vido Musso. He [...]

Just when the Thanksgiving weekend should be over… (Bumped)

…Southern California residents will be treated to comedian/pundit Evan Sayet, now at Jon Lovitz’s comedy club at Universal Studio’s City Walk, aka post-show stumbling distance for yours truly. Always fun to visit Evan’s official site, but all pertinent details below:

Nov. 29th 6:00 PM Special Guests: al Sonja Schmidt and Eric Golub Valet Parking [...]

Saturday Open Thread

Swinging for the Bleachers

What has happened to Sammy Sosa since he retired from baseball? No really. WTF happened to Sammy Sosa?!?

So in football season I’m a little slow on the baseball news. Holy crap! If I used that skin cream you could see my organs. I’d be like Slim Goodbody — except I’m not slim and [...]

F-f-f-f-fade away already

While I suppose we could have seen the choice of The Who as the 2010 Super Bowl halftime entertainment coming for miles and miles and miles, can’t help but think the Foo Fighters, probably the most popular (and across the board accessible) rock band of the next generation, can’t be too far down the [...]
