Buy Or Don’t Buy

If the Senate Republican caucus was “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” Mitch McConnell would be The Brains, John Ensign would be The Looks and Arlen Specter would be The Wild Card.

Sometimes Specter is a hard-core Republican. He went at Anita Hill like a wild dog during Clarence Thomas’s Supreme Court hearings and he was mixed [...]

The Brothers Bloom is a globe-trotting, rip-roaring con man film directed by Rian Johnson that comes out this summer. I loved Brick, Johnson’s first film, and I’m anxious to see how he manages without that film’s ’40s throwback style to lean on. Judging from the film’s first 10 minutes, some Buys and Don’t Buys:
Don’t Buy: [...]

Another day another bailout. The banks, mortgage companies, Detroit (all of it?), and now the MTA.
“Teabaggers,” (people that seem to be pretty well off) are complaining that they don’t want to be taxed anymore then they already are! If you ask me that takes some balls. Also, forcing your kids to protest with you holding [...]

Somehow, the video for Coldplay’s “Life in Technicolor ii” escaped my notice until today:

Is it bad to find the puppet-Chris Martin more interesting than the real one?

Julia and Sly sat outside the United Avalon theaters and asked Tammy to hold up her dress and shoes she bought for MORP. The name might have been backwards, to prevent middle schoolers from drinking, but everything else about Friday’s dance was definitely forwards: girls asking the guys to dance, new clothes, new weather, new [...]

This weekend, the weather in New York was perfect. High-60s, low-70s, sunny, not too windy. If I had to sum it up in picture form, it would be like this:

Look at how happy that softball pitcher is!
On the east coast, we routinely get teased by wonderful weather in March and April. One day it’s sunny, [...]

BODB, being cutting edge as usual, posted a Buy about Parks and Recreation before it was even titled. I have to disagree.
Tonight, I watched an episode of this Amy Poehler-starring, Office writer-written show. And I was unimpressed. Poehler’s character of Lindsey was practically Michael Scott in a skirt. She leads a team of unenthused workers [...]

Apparently Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) has been doing the Twitter thing for a while now.  I must admit, I was previously influenced by my interpretation of his personal brand as America’s Zany Prankster Bro, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the topics he Tweets about! He’s a big proponent of Social Media, and has actually been doing some fun [...]

The amount of Michael Bay parodies on the internet seem to have grown exponentially in the past couple of months. I guess people have figured out that he is, in fact, a hack who just likes blowing stuff up. I couldn’t be happier!

Personally I enjoy a Michael Bay movie every now and again. Some times I [...]

We all know Billy Mays… you know, the guy on infomercials always yelling at you to buy his products? OxyClean, Big City Slider, Mighty Putty; you name the problem and he’s probably made some product to fix it.
But I’m not here to post about his products (I never have nor probably will use them), I [...]
