I just read this article:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/08/26/elizabeth.edwards.ap/index.html
Which is basically about how a bunch of Democrats are bashing Elizabeth Edwards for not revealing her husband's affair. They claim she is complicit and covered it up due to her political ambitions. Here's my message to my fellow Democrats on this issue:
STFU you insufferable douchebags and leave this woman alone. Jesus. What a pile of pricks. |

Let there be no mistake: Giuliani is a total whackjob. If Giuliani, Romney or Huckabee win the general election, I am going to have a meltdown. |

My brother has an ongoing feature on his blog where he posts some of the more ridiculous letters published in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. For good reason: either everyone who writes to the T&G is nuts, or the editors purposely choose the most asinine junk they can find. (I suggest following the above link and clicking on the entry titled "I like Jasmine Guy".)
Yesterday's "Commentary" section, however, really outdid itself. The entire page could have published in the Onion without alteration and been as successful. The highlight was a truly amazing column by Michael Reagan which reads like a parody of a right-wing nutjob denouncing Woodstock -- only it is a new column about Al Gore's Earth Aid concerts last weekend, which he actually refers to as "Marxist snake oil...a means of subjugating the populace". He also calls the people who attended it "foul-mouthed, tattooed guttersnipes". Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a link to this column, but I strongly reccommend tracking it down; I'm not sure I've ever done a double-take while reading a newspaper, but I was forced to do several yesterday.
And, of course, there's the letter to the editor which included this statement, I shit you not:
"Rapes are at an all-time high. How can this not be so when many of our women dress as if they are for sale?"
As Crow T. Robot might say, "Thanks, Worcester." |

Ghost Rider. Aqua Teen Hunger Force. 300. What do these have in common besides being nicknames for my three testicles? They're just some of the movies I have seen so far this year. You may be wondering what happened to the old fashioned type of film that emphasized subtle wordplay and deep character drama that exposed the base humanity we all share. Well, shit, son. That ain't how I roll.
Without further ado, movie reviews for 2007.
( Pan's Labyrinth )
( Ghost Rider )
( 300 )
( Aqua Teen Hunger Force )
( Spider-Man 3 ) |

From this week's Time magazine, talking about Mitt Romney and his wife Ann:
"Romney's inspiration going forward may come less from Kennedy than from Dwight Eisenhower, whom Romney reveres to such an extent, he told the Atlantic Monthly, that he asked his grandchildren to call him "Ike" and Ann "Mamie".
wtf? |

Spider-Man 3 is out and you know what that means: it's Summer Blockbuster season. Hoo-rah. Months of mindless special effects and cheesy dialogue and tons and tons of people getting slaughtered for our enjoyment. It's going to be awesome.
But wait, you say (go ahead, say it). How will we know what movies to see if you don't tell us, you say (and very flattering, thank you). Good point. I know I let you all down by not keeping up to date with the reviews last year. So before we get into this year's batch of movies, I think I've got a little catching up to do.
Without further ado, then, here's the first batch of movie reviews from last year. These are movies that I saw in the theatre during the 2006 calendar year. Turns out I saw 27 movies in the theatre last year, which is a lot. Since I don't want to overwhelm you I'm going to break it down into more easily digestible groups of 9, much like a mother bird chewing up worms and then regurgitating them into the mouths of their baby chicks. Here, then, in chronological order, is your vomit:
( Munich )
( Underworld: Evolution )
( Brokeback Mountain )
( The New World )
( Dave Chapelle's Block Party )
( 16 Blocks )
( V for Vendetta )
( Mission Impossible )
( The Da Vinci Code ) |
