George Harrison: They used us as an excuse to go mad, the world did, and then blamed it on us When Bob Spitz’ recent book came out I said to myself I can’t read yet another Beatles book, what else could there possibly be, but a few days ago I found a copy of Spitz’ gigantic book …

I Fought ACME9 and ACME9 Won: Part 2 Red Alert!
While I’ve been out of commission, my mother has been in contact with work and the word is just get better, take your time before coming back, make sure you are well. That’s all that matters to us. Sometimes, I wonder if they had already decided to just fire me at the first possible moment.
It’s Chris Ferguson for Responsible Gambling!
Chris “Jesus”Ferguson bugs me. I’m sure he’s quite nice, but despite his desperado look he’s as boring as those books they made you read in high school. If I see him throwing more playing cards at fruit I will retch. But he finally tipped me over the edge tonight.
Highlights from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s College Smackdown
“Women in Iran enjoy the highest levels of freedom.” “In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals, like in your country.” “If the Holocaust is a reality of our time, a history that occurred, why is there not sufficient research that can approach the topic from different perspectives?” “No fucking way Barry Bonds did steroids!”
Mary Worth: Anybody?
Does anyone alive actually read this? I think Al-Qaeda may be passing along messages to each other in it and no one has any idea!
Elvis Needs Boats Makes It’s First Semi-Moral Stand!
I just added a widget to link to Amazon.com stuff. It’s supposed to fit the products to your site. Well, I wrote a ton of negative stuff about Donald Trump, so a ton of Donald Trump products came up. So I went in and banned all Trump Products and anything about investing or becoming rich, …

The Single Greatest Movie Review Ever
http://www.capalert.com/capreports/sincity.htm I love to read reviews by anyone and religious zealots especially. These people didn’t like Sin City. It got a perfect score of zero out of 100! But the greatest thing about the review is that the reviewer had to chronical every single offensive thing about the movie – and he fond a lot! …
Soft Rock Classics: The Best Infomercial Ever
Lloyd Dobler: Hey my brother, can I borrow a copy of your “Hey Soul Classics”? J-Man: No, my brother, you have to go buy your own. I don’t really understand why these record compilations still exist. Wasn’t their point that buying all the individual albums would cost you a fortune? Is that still a problem …

Eastern Promises
Let me admit up front that coming after David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen’s masterwork, A History of Violence, maybe my expectations were a bit too high, but I have to say that Eastern Promises left me a little antsy and bored.
Gossip Girl!!
C’mon who out there was really dying for another 90210/OC rehash? ME, of course!
George Harrison: Certain Success Story
I somehow never fail to find little things about the Beatles to amuse me. Here’s a comment that led to George Harrison quitting school. “It is very difficult to give an assessment of this boy’s work – because he hasn’t done any.”
Colin Farrell: I Just Don’t Get It
As a avid watcher of pop culture I try to research and form opinions on all the latest trends, but here’s one that has left me completely flabbergasted. Colin Farrell. Why is this dude a star? Why do big time directors like Michael Mann and Oliver Stone continue to cast him?
Who Really Has the Most Toys?
The Forbes 400 list of richest americans came out today, a list which is likely to be as accurate as a Miss Cleo’s palm reading. Forbes 400
A Roundtable of Dunces
Have you ever wondered how with the increasing democratization of opinion outlets, we seem to only increase our collective idiocy? Face it, despite a cable channel or blog for nearly every conceivable point of view, political discourse in our country is about as sophisticated as a debate on Nietzsche conducted between a gopher and a …
Too White for Jesse?
Whether or not Jesse Jackson accused Barack Obama of acting “too white” or not, the only surprise about the recent flap is that it took so long to surface. Obama’s Presidential candidacy has idealistically tried to treat his race(s) as if they didn’t matter, a notion that is spiritually worthwhile, but perhaps even in today’s …
