24: Out of Time?

by: GeoffBurch

In the famous and frantic words of Jack Bauer, 24 could be “running out of time!”  Fox is expected to soon announce the cancellation of 24, stopping the clock of the hit television drama after its current eighth season.  Also in the legendary words of Jack, my reaction is:  “Damn it!”
Debuting less than two months [...]

Discovery Channel Owes Us An Apology

I have been quite active in the Tea Party movement here in Northeastern Ohio, including helping to organize the largest one in the state, with over 7,000 people in attendance.  Amazingly, this event (which happened on a Thursday evening) grew to include a simo-cast from a local radio station and drew such a crowd, it [...]

A Verizon Commercial I Like!

On October 27, 2009 at 10:23 am

No, I am not being paid by Verizon to advertise…I don’t even have Verizon service, but if there is a reason for me to switch, this is it:

Let me summarize:
The unshaven, lazy bum, aka Blue State guy, looks over at the other guy and what he sees are obviously superior political views.
The well-groomed, smart Red [...]

Should Jacko’s Kids be Reality Stars?

Should Jacko's Kids be Reality Stars?

Who here thought the kids of the Gloved One (who underwent a gradual transformation from pop singer to charitable eccentric to the unlikely canonized) would be thrown into the spotlight yet again? Come on people, raise your hands . . . Hmm? Mhm. That doesn’t surprise me.
Now that we’ve all agreed on something, possibly because [...]

Real Slime: An Open Letter To Bill Maher

Dear Bill,
I’ll never forget the moment that I became a fan. It was during the height of the Cold War in 1982 when you told one of the funniest jokes I’d ever heard:
“This is serious folks……India has the Bomb! Pakistan has the Bomb! I’m all for cultural development, but these are countries that just got [...]

Eight Plus The 1ne

After the nth spectacle of impressionable young kids serenading The Dictator’s Best Buddy™, and the nth spectacle of impressionable young kids being caught – whether intentionally or no – in the middle of a divorce dispute, I got so sick of it all that I’ve decided to shout to the Internet heavens at the top [...]

Media Double Standard on Dunn-Mao Quote Exposed (VIDEO)

Conservatives have recently found themselves questioning why the media has not been covering White House Communications Director Anita Dunn’s professed admiration of one of history’s greatest monsters, Chairman Mao Tse-tung. Many, including Glenn Beck who initially broke the story, have used the comparison of a hypothetical right winger or Republican who expressed admiration for the [...]

The Ladies Room: Prince of my Heart

Can I be brutally honest?
Well, why not…if you don’t like it then stop reading.
Disney has developed some utterly dazzling cartoon men. Think about it for a moment and you’ll agree that the heroes are downright swoon-worthy despite often being less than critical characters. My childhood crushes have extended into adulthood and it’s time to list [...]

Glee: A Show For Geeks Of All Ages

Six episodes deep into the growing phenomenon called “Glee,” more than a few critics (and even regular viewers) are scratching their heads over the enduring popularity of this quirky comedic drama.
By all rights, the show – premised on a fledgling group of high school misfits trying to qualify for a statewide singing competition – should [...]

Game Sequels that just didn’t need to happen…

Game Sequels that just didn't need to happen...

I have a confession to make.
My name is Ryan, and I am a recovering gamer.
I think anyone who ever took the ancient 8-bit gaming consoles for a spin looks back fondly on the days when they first fired up their Nintendo or Sega, and considers their favorites (unless part of the Final Fantasy series) as [...]

Obama and SNL Still Tight (VIDEO)

Media outlets everywhere are pronouncing the end of Obama’s media honeymoon in the wake of Saturday Night Live’s first sketch bashing the President.
I disagree.
A quick look at SNL’s storied history of Presidential mockery proves my point. Take a look at the presidents they really hated, starting with Gerald Ford. In a recent interview, Chevy Chase [...]

Ok… So Letterman’s NOT QUITE Polanski…but…(VIDEO)

Ok... So Letterman's NOT QUITE Polanski...but...(VIDEO)

David Letterman has for years had fun at the expense of others especially in pointing out their sexual dalliances. Well all those chickens came home to roost this week for the 62 year old Late Night host.
He was forced to admit liasons with staffers, and even did so on his show.
Fortunately all of Letterman’s employees [...]
