Blocking Dubai Ports World Takeover Will Result In Second Great Depression

I was watching Faux -- pardon me, Fox -- News the other day when the Dubai Ports World scandal was reaching its zenith with Congress calling Bush's veto bluff. As a topic of maddening extrapolative interest, one of the screaming right-wing shows offered up how blocking the sale of the six American... Sign in to see full entry.

George Clooney -- Not Just A Pretty Face

Yeah, women love the guy. Even guys like him (not just gay guys, either). He's cool; he's suave; he's articulate; he can be romantic and dashing; he can be a rogue; he's a modern Rhett Butler; he's everyman. He's on top of his professional game, having directed and starred in two politically... Sign in to see full entry.

$1 Million Reward To Assassinate Cartoonist

Imagine if the Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses or the Catholics were as thin-skinned about their religion as Muslims. Everybody would have a bounty on their head, especially comedians. Hell, Carlos Mencia would have the largest bounty, because he's an equal opportunity jokester. But, I digress. I... Sign in to see full entry.

St. Valentine's Day

Is there anybody else on the planet that thinks this is the most nonsensical, crass, commercialistic holiday known to man? I mean, not counting all the other nonsensical, crass, commercialistic holidays? Seriously. Besides the women out there -- because men are predominantly the target consumer in...

Could We Be At The Threshold Of World War III?

Protests and demonstrations throughout the Muslim world have turned increasingly violent and even deadly.

Morgan Freeman Says Black History Month 'Ridiculous'

Honored actor Morgan Freeman was interviewed by Mike Wallace on CBS' 60 Minutes back in December and made comments about Black History Month that have resurfaced. Why?

Bush-Bashing Bellafonte

It seems that Harry Bellafonte might not get an invitation to dinner at the White House anytime soon, especially after remarks he made this week about the Bush administration.

Here in the land of plenty, it is nothing to see households with multiples of many items. We are definitely a nation of consumers. We are definitely greedy. And we definitely are material, pursuers of creature comforts. More is more; more is better; more is mine. American consumption in a nutshell.... Sign in to see full entry.

The End Of The Year Year-Ending Lists

Oh, they'll go down to the wire with these. Every network and radio station and magazine -- well, basicly every form of media there is -- seems to contribute a year-end list of whatever seems important to them. The lists usually consist of the things that make the particular list-maker money. You... Sign in to see full entry.
