America’s Next Top Televangelist
Why doesn’t this reality show exist? It would be perfect for CBS Sunday nights, right after 60 Minutes. Of course, you’d have to wait until football season is over. Let the competitors give both prepared and spontaneous sermons on a variety of subjects. Instead of competing for dollars, they could compete for souls. Seriously, why [...]
Please Fix Boxing!!!
I don’t mean that kind of “fix”. I mean “fix” as in “repair”. I don’t watch boxing nearly as much as I used to. At one time I would have considered myself a fan. For the last seven years or so I’ve sort of ditched boxing for the UFC. The fights are more active and [...]
Did Columbia University Trap Ahmadinejad?
I’m in wait and see mode on this one, but I’m a little surprised at what I just saw. I’m at work and don’t have a chance to watch the coverage, but I just returned from getting a cup of coffee and got to catch a glimpse of Columbia’s President evidently ripping Ahmadinejad a new [...]
Damn You Scrubs
I tried it once, just a taste, a few years ago. I got just enough of it to know that it was something I should stay away from. I could feel those inner voids that had been present in the years since Seinfeld went off the air being filled just a little, and I knew [...]
I’m Looking for Some Yaz…You Holding?
I meant to write about this a couple of weeks ago the first time I saw the commercial for Yaz birth control pills. “Yaz” doesn’t sound like a reputable birth control product to me. It sounds like the street name for some highly addictive substance made from processing kerosene, roach killer, and cotton candy. These [...]
Flavor Flav Roast
Lisa Lampanelli has to be the funniest person I’ve seen in a very long time. I didn’t get to see the whole thing, but she was the only thing I really wanted to see anyway. I did have one question though…where were Chuck D. and Terminator X? I’m assuming they were in attendance and I [...]
I Just Have To Say…
Turning Into a Housewife
So I’m sitting here surfing/writing/reading/napping and there are all of these crazy shows about having babies on TLC that document parents’ first few days at home with their babies. Either our kid is really easy, we are really laid back and easy going, or both. These people stress over the slightest little things, get rattled [...]
Ron Paul on Morton Downey Jr.
Saw this posted at Reason and had to put it up here too, it’s just too funny. Ron Paul is so young in this clip (1988). I’d love to see him this energetic and rowdy in the Republican debates. However, legalization of drugs would not go well with that crowd. They are probably happy this [...]
The American Experience — Alexander Hamilton
Last night I recorded this program on PBS. It is a nice warm-up to the debates tonight. I’ve often wondered what Thomas Jefferson would think about our current situation, but this program makes me wonder what Hamilton would think. Hamilton pushed hard for a strong central government, but I wonder if he would have wanted [...]
