Next up on the reading list

The moms and I went to Politics and Prose yesterday to check out Ron Suskind, author of "A Hope in the Unseen", "The Price of Loyality" and his latest effort "The One Percent Doctrine". I enjoyed his previous two books and imagine I'll enjoy the new one. "The One Percent Doctrine" is about foreign policy [...]

From the land of the bizarre

I believe that the best way to deal with people like Ann Coulter is to ignore them. Coulter doesn't really believe the crazy shit she says; she says it because she loves having people (liberals/and most sane people) flip out over what she says and, more importantly, she likes selling books. So despite making a [...]

Tragedy in the land of music

Kevin Richardson, at 33 the oldest member of the Backstreet Boys, has announced he is leaving the group to pursue other interests . R.I.P BSB, you will always be dear to my heart. 

Coulter v. Hitler test and K-Fed

Via AmericaBlog, here’s a fun little quiz. See if you can tell who said what, Hitler or Coulter. I got 10 of 14 right, which isn’t bad I guess. To be fair I imagine you could pull quotes from a lot of people and make them compare quite well to some evil guy but [...]

Strange Bedfellows

Here’s an odd one: 50 Cent and Apple Computers are becoming business partners. What? Seriously, 50 and Apple are in talks to have a 50 Cent branded Apple computer that would be targeted (and priced) towards those with lower incomes. Thats right, hardcore gangsta 50 Cent and nerdy preppy Apple are joining forces. The only [...]

Top 50 Magazines

The Chicago Tribune came out with their list of the Top 50 Best Magazines. Top Ten, in order: The Economist, Dwell, Wired, The New Yorker, ESPN the Magazine, Esquire, Consumer Reports, Blender, Gourmet and the Atlantic.
I’ve never heard of Dwell, apparently its some sort of home decorating magazine but the others are all well known. [...]

Johnny Drama’s acting resume

Here's a funny little link for all you Entourage fans. Entourage creator Doug Ellin came up with a fake acting resume for Vinnie Chase's deadbeat brother Johnny and gave it to EW.com. My favorite parts Johnny has had? Bulimic Pedophile on the Commish and I would have enjoyed seeing Drama in Mama Mia at [...]

An Inconvenient Truth

I saw the Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth (here after referred to as AIT) a couple of nights ago. Certainly its an interesting movie and worth seeing, though it has been perhaps over-hyped (through no fault of Gore or the makers). It really is, for the most part, a combination of a long lecture/slide [...]

Bill Frist = cat killer

As if I really needed anymore reasons to dislike Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, now I find this out: the man is a cat killer. A columnist for the Tennessean points out that in a 1989 book written by Senator Frist the Senator describes how he would adopt cats from shelters, treat them like pets [...]

Slate’s Daniel Gross made a promise and, man of his word that he is, ate the first chapter of a book. Video of the affair can be found here. looks [...]
