Get over yourself, Rolling Stone
Kudos on the McChrystal article, but Jann Wenner’s print celebration of all things plastic is far from hip. Matt Taibbi’s snide dispatches rarely impress, and movie “critic” Peter Travers is a eager whore. *MIAMI VICE: “If you’re looking for a crime story that sizzles with action, sex and the visceral jolt of life on the [...]
Ahem, the oil is still spilling
Has the Obama Administration moved on, now that the media has begun to lose interest?
‘Freedom Fest,’ minus freedom of the press
A conservative Virginia blogger, sympathetic to the cause, was nonetheless booted from a right-wing pep rally Monday night once Coach Palin took to the mic. So much for transparency. Palin’s fans, who don’t require a filter (hey, just like Hitler supporters), maintain their allegiance. Annieflies says: June 27, 2010 at 9:13 pm Well it is [...]
Another pissed-off Alabama Republican
Naturally he makes the Hitler/Obama comparison — “Somebody had to say this,” he boasts. Uh, no they didn’t, you militaristic moron.
A final word on Chris Brown
Women seem as forgiving, if not more so, of the punk-ass bitch after his “comeback” performance Sunday night at the BET Awards. I trust these women have never been the victim of domestic violence — a problem that has not subsided, mainly because we live in a society too eager to absolve the unpardonable. More [...]
Guess who’s playing the victim again?
News flash: Sarah Palin is a total fucking idiot. “Students who spent their valuable, precious time diving through dumpsters before this event in order to silence someone … what a wasted resource,” she told the crowd dining in the campus cafeteria. No one was trying to silence her; rather, they wanted to know why a [...]
Gullible public eager to forgive Chris Brown
Depressing results from an Entertainment Weekly poll: Was Chris Brown’s Michael Jackson tribute appropriate? Yes 72% (1,931 votes) No 28% (744 votes) Total Votes: 2,675 Andisheh summed it up best: Man who beat his girlfriend offers heartfelt tribute to man who molested children.
At least he didn’t list ‘Celebrity’
Woody Allen’s favorite Woody Allen movies? Purple Rose of Cairo, Match Point, Bullets Over Broadway, Zelig, Husbands and Wives, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. WTF? “Zelig” is an underrated gem, and “Bullets” a clever diversion, but “Vicky Cristina Barecelona” is a a pretentious pile of shit — one of three Woody Allen movies I walked out [...]
Santorum: Hawaii is not a state
Fundamentalist conservative Rick Santorum, who once compared homosexuality to incest and beastiality, said Barack Obama “doesn’t identify with the average American because of his own background. Indonesia and Hawaii. His view is from the viewpoint of academics and the halls of the Ivy league schools that he went to and it’s not a love of [...]
The rehabilitation of a woman-beating punk
Naturally the handjob media is playing along, applauding Chris Brown’s crocodile tears during his “emotional tribute” to Michael Jackson at the BET Awards. Then, as Brown grabbed a microphone to sing “Man in the Mirror,” he broke down in tears. His voice cracked, he couldn’t sing, and at one point he crumpled to the stage [...]
