The homepage of the University of California declares:
“The 10 campuses of the University of California open their doors to all who [...]

Democrats Evading Constitutionality Questions on Mandates

The question of the constitutionality of health insurance mandates has turned out to be a slippery one for supporters of the current healthcare reform bill. The Federal Government is undoubtedly wading into uncharted waters by requiring, under threat of fine and imprisonment, that individual Americans purchase a service. At town hall meetings across the country, [...]

BOB DYLAN – “Christmas In The Heart” (CD Review)

No Stars (out of 4 stars)
Label: Sony Music
While sampling through this album, a friend nearby complained “I have a sore throat just listening.” I knew then that I had come across the ultimate “White Elephant” or “Pirate” gift for Christmas 2009: Bob Dylan’s “Christmas in the Heart.” Or as I like to think of it [...]

Did Lou Dobbs Have His Howard Beale Moment?

In 1976, the movie Network was released about an anchorman (no, not Ron Burgundy) who was being dropped because his ratings were sliding into the toilet. The late Peter Finch played Howard Beale who is fired by the fictional UBS network.
That day, Mr. Beale starts his broadcast, like all the others before, only this time, [...]

Illiterate Woman Writes Number One Bestseller

Sarah Palin: Hockey mom. PTA member. Small town mayor. Governor of Alaska. Republican Vice-Presidential candidate.
Include a new title – best-selling author. Her upcoming novel, Going Rogue, is already a chart-topper.
Yet, according to some, Mrs. Palin is not the sharpest tool.
Vanity Fair’s Todd Purdim spent ten thousand words in the August 2009 edition to assert that [...]

INGRID MICHAELSON – “Everybody” (CD Review)

Label: Cabin 24 Records
Is it possible that the 1990’s are already back? There’s been a noticeable lack of female indie pop/rock on the music scene in the past few years. But with Ingrid Michaelson making her music, “chick music” is safely returning. Her songs are sweet, prickly, bouncy, tart, and, above all, honest.
You may not [...]

Ambitious for Ambi

A consistent and proper facial cleansing regime is required for healthy and vibrant skin. Long gone are the days of hard soap and hot water. Just drinking the recommended daily consumption of water is not enough either. To combat today’s hash environment, and UV damaging effects, a proper skin cleansing and moisturizing ritual is not only [...]

Lucy began her legacy, unwittingly, when John Lennon’s son, Julian brought home a painting he had done in school in 1966. “That’s Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” he told his dad. The rest is history.
She only recently admitted [...]

Is Miley Turning Into A Ho?

On October 6, 2009 at 10:07 am


Ok seriously, I’ll come out and say it: Miley Cyrus is turning into a ho.

Maybe that’s a little rough but have you seen her new video? If not, it’s below. The girl is 16 and she’s prancing around and shaking her hips like a stripper in training. Watching it, you easily forget that she’s 16 [...]

Chevy Finally Caves

Car lovers: Sympathize with me for a second. You know the feeling – Cruising down the interstate, not really noticing or caring how quickly you’re breezing by the rest of the traffic.
At least, until you see those lights in your rearview mirror.
As soon as you regain your composure, there’s always one fleeting thought that drifts [...]
