After my heart was broken, I lived with my grandparents for a while and really got to know them. I had quit making a lot of money to get a masters degree in education and become a teacher (giving credence to my grandfather’s notion that all his second generation spawn were crazy). I thought I’d …

Johnny Rotten – Musical Ronald Reagan? Bollocks!
God, I hate Anniversaries. Writers without imagination look at their today in history section of Yahoo and decide to interpret that history for their own means. These are the type of people that try to tell you that Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech is indicative of his opposition to affirmative action.
This Film Is Not Yet Rated
Here’s a really late film review. Kirby Dick’s This Film Is Not Yet Rated was sort of released in early 2006. I was dying to see it the second I heard about it, but due to its NC-17 rating that wasn’t really a possibility outside of ponying up money I didn’t have to go to …
The Torment of Being Married to Halle Berry
From CNN Halle Berry said she and her boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, worked hard to get her pregnant. “So there was a lot of staying home and doing what you do. Like, all the time, around the clock,” the 41-year-old Oscar-winning actress said
Mitch Hedberg Art
This guy Mark Collins has been doing these great illustrations of Mitch Hedberg jokes. But I think I’m going to pirate them all below so I have them as my own :).
The Very Best of Mick Jagger
Well I think we all know why it was called Mick Jagger’s Greatest Hits. The only thing Mick Jagger’s solo career is responsible for is making Keith Richards angry enough to release a couple of good solo albums. Feel free to celebrate it’s release by yawning seductively.
The Best Since Phenomenon
The new Entertainment Weekly proclaims that “Magic is Bruce Springsteen’s best album since the River.” I haven’t heard it so maybe it’s true but:
New Radiohead Album Costs “It’s up to you!”
Back when Sean Fanning first wrote and developed Napster a lot of music fans found themselves facing the ethical dilemma of whether or not it was OK to “steal’ music.
Chelsea Clinton Photo Causes NYC Ruckus
I can’t tell you how disappointed I am. I just saw that Chelsea Clinton was the number one search on Yahoo. Then I see the above headline, and it turns out Bill wants some restaurant to take a photo of her eating at the place down. I was totally convinced there was nudity involved, and I imagine so did everyone …
This Is Why I Love Doug Stanhope
A friend of his just died young, the second time recently that this has happened to someone listed among his top friends on his My Space page. He’s clearly down about the death, but he still is dark enough that it prompts him to honestly assess the probability each of his friends has to be …
Conservative Radio Host Rush Limbaugh in Sights of Antiwar Democrats on Capitol Hill
That’s Fox News’ headline, and I have to finally applaud the usually do nothing Dems. If you are going to aim at something, it should be fat and stupid enough for you to have a chance of hitting it.
The Internet: An Ad Man’s Dream
I just watched a 30 second commercial to see a 20 second NFL clip. That would be like watching a sit com where the commercials took up all but 12 minutes of the half hour show. Not only that so far you can’t fast forward through these.
