I want him given a limitless soapbox to say this kind of shit, forever.  I want Americans to know how juvenile, anti-intellectual and bloodthirsty the Republican party is.  Now that it’s a lot smaller than it used to be, the profoundly evil people have total control over it.  Four years [...]

OMG, I love her.  She even tells a boring story.

Just when you think she’s more amused by this than you are, you get, “Put the cover on and let that boil until it cooks.  We’ll have to wait awhile.”
I love everyone over 85.  Her show should be called “The Watched Pot.”  It’s that good.  She [...]

James Dobson’s Letter from the Future includes a resurgent Russia reabsorbing Eastern Europe into a new Warsaw Pact. That might actually happen if the Eurovision Song Contest goes as planned. Did anyone see this? It didn’t seem to get much attention. I totally love the idea of Eurovision as a forum [...]

Repeat, he is not resigning from Focus on the Family because he had sex with Ma Ying-jeou.  That was a DJ from Tennessee who has been expelled from Taiwan because he fucked somebody while knowing he had syphilis…?

First, there are God-only-knows how many contingencies that could arise in the next nineteen months to push that target date back, so I won’t hold my breath for the end of this [...]

The world is flat.  Get rid of GM, it’s a dinosaur.  To hell with its millions of workers and retirees and the people who depend on their wages and pensions; to hell with the entire state of Michigan.  Find a new Google and give it a bailout while it’s still a nonexistent start-up.  Asia is [...]

The US, being alone among industrialized countries in that it’s growing, is actually growing quite quickly.  High rates of immigration plus a relatively high rate of childbirth among a religious population make the possibility of twice as many Americans as there are now during my life time conceivable.  (Although every American will be an atheist, [...]

There is just nothing to say except that Ongina’s breaking down after winning the MAC Viva Glam challenge and admitting that she has HIV and her parents don’t know might be the singularly most intense moment of reality television I’ve ever witnessed.
Let’s face it, “Reality TV” is as scripted as anything else, the producers of [...]

There is no reason to get irritated when mediocrity triumphs; that’s what the Oscars are for.  Of all the movies that have won Best Picture there’s really only about 3-4 that actually rank among the best of American film.  The last 15 years, starting with Forrest Gump, have been particularly egregious.  Now let’s dish.
