Only in America — seriously, only in America
BIO PRESENTS “CELEBRITY LIFE COACH” FEATURING ACTRESS SEAN YOUNG ONE-HOUR SPECIAL PREMIERING Wednesday, DECEMBER 1 AT 10PM ET/PT Fix Sean Young and maybe I’ll buy the concept of a “life coach.”
Small-minded base, not the military, behind GOP’s DADT opposition
The public favors allowing gays to serve openly in the military, and so do our soldiers. The civilian and military leaders of the nation’s armed forces urged Congress Tuesday to repeal the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy based on a survey showing that most troops are okay with gays serving openly. Defense Secretary Robert Gates [...]
Your turn, GOP officeholders
Former First Lady Barbara Bush has done it. So has former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan. Today, former GOP congressman Joe Scarborough joined the small group of Republicans willing to acknowledge the obvious about Sarah Palin. Notice the adjective that binds them together. Don’t count on current Republicans joining them anytime soon. Related Articles Joe Scarborough [...]
Obnoxious is the new fascinating

Canonizing is patronizing
I’ve never watched “Glee,” largely because I hate it when people break into song for no reason. That, and I don’t appreciate being patronized: Rachel Barry is an annoying twit, Mr. Schue is a skeevy perv, Sue Motherfucking Sylvester is a monster, Santana is a slut, Puck is a lawbreaker—each character on Glee has a [...]
Sheldon Greenbriar’s Holiday Blurbomat
It is the season for giving, after all, and have I got a worthy cause for you. It’s my campaign to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for legendary actress Jenilee Harrison. I know, it’s incomprehensible that she doesn’t already have one. After all, she not only replaced Suzanne Somers on “Three’s Company” but [...]
4 a.m. in N. Buffalo
These are the consequences of camping overnight on the frozen concrete outside Target with hundreds of other losers desperate to save a few bucks on Buffalo Sabres merchandise. Note the nonchalance even after the scene turned ugly. If you’re the type who tabulates blessings, be sure to include “not living in N. Buffalo” among them.
ATLmalcontent’s Person(s) of the Year
My choices didn’t end war, cure pestilence or even excel in their chosen profession. But MLB umpire Jim Joyce and unheralded Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Armando Galarraga demonstrated rarely seen class earlier this summer, betraying the newly treasured American tendencies of hollow apologies and victimhood. Man up, they did. Related Articles Galarraga, Joyce together again (sportingnews.com)
