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 of a [...] 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 [...] 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 [...] 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!” The world might be a better place if [...] 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 original, historical temperature [...] 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 alleged killer, [...] 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 [...] Along the lines of Sammy Sosa’s swing for the bleachers I posted last night we have this from India and other Asian markets. Share on Facebook 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!” [...] 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 took [...] 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 said Frank [...] …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 Share on Facebook 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 [...] 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 producers’ [...] By popular demand, the above logo now available at Cafe Press in a variety of items, all under $20. Yes, of course, I absolutely include my Judeo brothers and sisters in the holiday spending frenzy — Taoists, Buddhists and Muslims tired of the violent hijacking of the radical wing of their religion, too. Those of you [...] Share on Facebook Financially speaking, the biggest flops of the aughts. Not shockingly, Will Ferrell, who has been revealed as the worst return-per-buck in Hollywood, is prominently featured. Nicole Kidman, who skyrocketed after divorce from Tom Cruise, shows her pale face. The worst? Seeing John McTiernan. McTiernan might be considered the greatest action director of all time. Not many [...] Why — global warming causes everything bad in the world honey. And if you don’t believe me — here’s a list — with links. Here’s the list: A complete list of things caused by global warming Acne, agricultural land increase, Afghan poppies destroyed, poppies more potent, Africa devastated, Africa in conflict, African aid threatened, African summer [...] And run for office in 1944 knowing he wouldn’t finish his term? Here’s a fascinating article from Slate on a book called FDR’s Deadly Secret — coming out in January. Beginning in early 1944, the fact that Roosevelt had severely elevated blood pressure and congestive heart failure was also kept secret. These diagnoses were made [...] The guys from Mystery Science Theater 3000 wish us all a Patrick Swayze Christmas… Share on Facebook My Thanksgiving hubba hubba is Bridget Lancaster from PBS’s “Cook’s Country.” Here she is, just about to serve up an enormous helping of something delicious. Why is she my dream girl? Because at my age… …when I hear “great rack” my thoughts turn to lamb. …when a friend characterizes a girl as a “butterface,” I think “Mmmmmm… Butter.” (Not [...] On behalf of Rufus, Eric, John FN, Wankette, Rich, Mike Kriskey, Outlaw, Charles Kane, and yours truly we wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving and we humbly thank you all for making us a regular part of your reading day. Share on Facebook It seems that New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric research (NIWA) is under fire for “cooking the numbers” — a la the East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The New Zealand Government’s chief climate advisory unit NIWA is under fire for allegedly massaging raw climate data to show a global warming trend that wasn’t there. The [...] Happy Thanksgiving! If you are renting a car this holiday season don’t forget your rental agreement. From the film Planes, Trains and Automobiles… WARNING! THERE IS MUCHO CURSING IN THIS CLIP, BUT IT’S WORTH EVERY SECOND. Share on Facebook Rich’s Pandora pic reminds me of the this… As God is my witness I thought turkeys could fly… Indeed. Share on Facebook UPDATE: I just watched the actual video at Plane Stupid’s website. Click here to get there. It’s even better than the skydiving polar bears that Tracy suggested. It’s more like the Inuits are bombing New York with polar bears. Which is another way of saying that it is F***ING AWESOME! If they ever make a [...] And does Neil Young well. Color me stunned. My ultimate television moment – forcing the winner of American Idol to sing “Powderfinger.” Share on Facebook Note to visiting jihadists: Graphic selected by R.T. Firefly, over the STRONG objections of trzupr You’re minding your own business, quietly trying to preserve western civilization and culture in the 21st Century, then this happens: “Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery.” Hmm. Whose [...] I’ve addressed this before, but one of my biggest pet peeves and one of the top 5 threats to our nation behind lawyers, Obama’s domestic policy, Obama’s foreign policy, and “moderate Republicans” are soft scientists (social, climate, et al) and bullshit statistics (they are joined like a good marriage and thus go together). Only [...] 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 [...] I think some of you cynical bastards need to take a look at this… Someone who puts others before self…no PR, no entourage, just him and his band saying thanks. Share on Facebook For those of you who were shocked by the COS of the Army’s statement about Major Husan and the loss of our multi-culturalism, we have this doozy of a story courtesy of Uncle Jimbo over at BLACKFIVE Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the [...] Sure, I only own the first two in the collection, but nothing like a new Very Special Christmas album to get the holiday season in gear. Since its inception in 1987, the “A Very Special Christmas” series has raised more than $100 million for Special Olympics worldwide, the most ever generated by a recording series. Besides [...] (h/t some guy I know’s wife) Maybe that production of “Atlas Shrugged” really is in the works… CBS News is reporting that Anglina Jolie is no fan of President Obama and it’s a source of conflict between her and her husband, sperm donor, boyfriend, Brad. Barack Obama does not have Angelina Jolie’s seal of approval. “She hates him,” [...] “Whatever it is, I’m against it!” Alright students, listen up. I’ve had all I can take of this Climate Change/Global Warming/Ice Caps receding/El Nina/El Nino/CO2 Good/CO2 Bad/Carbon Footprint/Carbon Offset/Cap and Trade/Crap and Trade nonsense.
