Starting with the September 11th attacks in 2001, a noticeable uneasiness and uncertainty has crept into the American zeitgeist. Many have speculated that it stems from geo-political instability from the collapse of the dollar, the rise of China, increasing energy prices, the war in Iraq and global warming, etc. Others have blamed it on a… Continue reading »
Somewhere in my Internet travels, I stumbled across this photo of Matisyahu and his weed carriers. Never before have I seen a picture that needed captioning more. So faithful readers, please comment and enter my what’s eating Matisyahu caption contest. It’s sort of like What’s Eating Gilbert Grape with way less DiCaprio and way more… Continue reading »
Last week when I opened my Yahoo! mail homepage, I was immediately treated to the above image, one that I immediately saved on my computer for future blogger usage, under the file name “Yahoo douche.” After all, how could anyone not make fun of Yahoo!’s shamelessly transparent attempt to pander to the youth market.

My central problems with smart people at the present moment are as follows: a whole lot of them like the Fiery Furnaces, many of them think that Al Gore has a decent shot at becoming President in 2008, and they often don’t like movies like Nacho Libre.

In April, President Bush watched a documentary on the northwest Hawaiian islands, a documentary that inspired last week’s decision to create the world’s largest marine protected area, a group of remote Hawaiian islands that cover 84 million acres and are home to 7,000 species of birds, fish and marine mammals, at least a quarter of… Continue reading »
Last week, I was deeply disturbed by a report that I read. Apparently, for the fourth straight year, Cadillac Escalades are the most stolen vehicle in the United States. At first, I thought I must be reading the report wrong. Who would steal an Escalade? Are car thieves unaware who drives Escalades? From all the… Continue reading »
Most journalists aren’t all that creative. Obviously. I’m not out to hate on journalists per se, but let’s be real with ourselves. Every time Adam Morrison takes a shot for the rest of his life, some journalist somewhere will rush to compare him to Larry Bird, mainly because he’s white and wears a mustache. This… Continue reading »
After nearly a week in heaven, former Al-Queda in Iraq leader, Abu Musab Zarqawi is irate with the sexual performance, or lack thereof, of the 72 virgins he received upon his arrival in Heaven, Wednesday morning. “I guess I didn’t think it out as well as I probably should have,” Zarqawi said in a rare… Continue reading »
There was a palpable buzz crackling in the air during the Raconteur’s concert Wednesday night. The promise of seeing Jack White at the small art-deco venue, the Henry Fonda Theatre, had brought out all of LA’s clueless. Record company executives, Hollywood, agents, wealthy fans with a casual appreciation for music, and those people with enough… Continue reading »
There was a palpable buzz crackling in the air during the Raconteur’s concert Wednesday night. The promise of seeing Jack White at the small art-deco venue, the Henry Fonda Theatre, had brought out the typical Los Angeles “big show” hybrid of clueless record company executives, Hollywood agents, wealthy fans with a casual appreciation for music… Continue reading »
