Buy Or Don’t Buy

A while ago, I wrote about the comedic couple of Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel and how they broke up and that really saddened me. After all, there are very few couples I root for and when one of them reconciles and gets back together, it’s awesome! It turns out Splits-ville was just a vacationing [...]

Apparently there is a need in the world for a new Star Trek movie. I understand that there are Trekkies, and people who enjoy the show or one of its 10 million spin offs. What I don’t understand is this new movie.
From what I understand it will be the original characters (Spock, Kirk, Darth Vader, [...]

I’m tired of hearing about the economic bailout of banks, credit cards, homeowners, car companies, etc. If people and companies want to live beyond their means, they should learn to accept the consequences. If you buy on credit, you better be able to afford the payments. If your house isn’t worth what you paid for [...]

Sieg heil!?  … No, dumbass.
A) Barack Obama + taxing rich people = Adolf Hitler

B) Sarah Palin + 4 years = viable presidential candidate
This woman couldn’t even graduate college in 4 years.  (Story)
C) John Edwards - all integrity = viable [...]

So, you are not a kid. In fact, you are 50. You used to be a best dancer in the mainstream. And here you are, off beat, out of touch, and noseless. (Who’s got your nose??)
I’ll still get down to “Thriller” anytime, but… err… you’ve become a don’t buy, buddy.

Over the summer I interned at the global citizen journalism startup GroundReport.com. It’s a small company, but it has a network of 3,000 reporters writing about everything from journalists being deported from Beijing to political violence in Kenya. It even broke the story of the bus bombings in Bangalore before The Guardian and The New [...]

I’m going to take this opportunity to send a little love out to the other 500,000 or so inhabitants of the place I currently call home, Washington D.C.  Washingtonians are not really known for being awesome.  The city was famously described by JFK as possessing “Southern efficiency and Northern charm.”  (Burn!)  It also gets shit [...]

Hall and Oates’s hit song, “Maneater” was covered or something by this unidentified singer songwriter. So what does Hall and Oates do?
Sue their publisher. That’s right, not the actual theif, but a company that will actually have money to pay out. Smart!
Warner Chappell Music are accused of breaching their contract by failing to protect against [...]

So last night I got invited to tag along with Brooklyn based rock band The Knees to a party at Moby’s house. At first I thought it was kind of rando, but then I found out it was actually a party held in Barack Obama’s honor, which totally explains everything. Barack is, after [...]
