Let's Talk BASTARDS

Has anyone else noticed that Social Conservatism seems to be flirting with an emotional meltdown? Belligerent and obviously mistaking drunken bathroom sex with The Devil as a direct flight to religious exoneration. While you may claim the word of G-d as your inspiration, if you blaspheme under a cloud of hypocrisy, then you have not [...]

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Game Review)

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Game Review)

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for Gamecube was a good game.  Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers for Wii, is not a good game.  In fact, Crystal Bearers goes down as another entry on the growing list of unfortunate blatant FF spin off cash-ins.  Any fan boy should feel aggrieved, and will be left nursing [...]

It’s a Longshot, But it Could Save Us

It's a Longshot, But it Could Save Us

The United States Congress is about to put its finishing touches on legislation that will drastically change our Health Care system forever. As Americans, we all would support such a move if it was a step forward with improving a system where premiums are reduced and coverage is expanded for those who need it. However, [...]

Best Films of 2009

Inglourious Basterds- This is Tarantino at his absolute best.

The Hangover- The most successful comedy ever for more reasons that I can type.

District 9- For a genre that is dead to me, this sci-fi drama hit [...]

Mark McGwire Admits to Lying at the Right Time

Mark McGwire Admits to Lying at the Right Time

If I were on Mark McGwire’s legal team, I too would have encouraged him to come clean about lying in a congressional hearing several years ago. Let’s face it folks, we all knew even then McGwire was being less the truthful in his testimony. The reality is, that some point in his life he was going to have to fess up.

Big Mac Comes Clean

Big Mac Comes Clean

Mark McGwire has come clean.
He has finally admitted today that he has done steroids. This is like Cher admitting that she has had a little plastic surgery.
Nobody in the sports world is surprised that Mark McGwire did steroids. We were shocked when he denied it five years ago in front of congress because it was [...]

Who’s Your (baby) Daddy?

Who's Your (baby) Daddy?

Ugly Betty has catapulted from Friday night prime-time exile to the top of the heap – right after ABC’s clever and well- written Modern Family and the popular-yet-depressing-to-me Cougartown.
I work in fashion, live in New York City and have long hung out with gay guys, so Ugly Betty has been a guilty pleasure for me [...]

The “It’s Complicated” Rating Debate

Just when it seems more and more Americans are becoming in favor of legalizing the personal use of marijuana, the Hollywood motion picture industry is holding things together and making sure that a couple of elderly actors don’t promote the illegal use of the drug. Of course, it isn’t Hollywood that Hollywood is worried about [...]

Time for Yet Another Shot at Love

Time for Yet Another Shot at Love

Tila Tequila - always a skanky internet and television personality, never a bride.
Is it really a surprise that Tila Tequila’s marriage didn’t happen? Ok, I suppose the circumstances are a bit unexpected. But not the outcome.
Casey Johnson, heiress to a fortune of soap and baby oil, was found dead on January 4th. The exact conditions are [...]

Oh, Grow Up!

Twenty guys in turbans and long beards could walk right through airport security, but who gets detained overnight? Joan Rivers. I am glad the airports are finally getting to the real root of terror – old Jewish comedians. I demand Don Rickles be brought in for questioning. Jerry Lewis should be put on a no-fly [...]

Why Fake A Fake?

Why Fake A Fake?

This photo has been forwarded to me so many times and posted on Facebook that I can’t take it any more! There is after all a fine line between exposing idiocy, and creating a fake to fit your agenda. Hello Global Warming anyone?
