I know a few of my readers will appreciate the dark humor of this: You remember the Sally Fields ga-ga Academy Award speech: “You love me; you really, really love me.” Well, Steve Rosen has done the reverse and managed to lump me together with M.J. Rosenberg and Justin Raimondo as “three who hate” his blog.  That’s probably the only time in each of our lives we’ll be mentioned in the same sentence, since we’re not exactly ...

Ask anyone you know to list countries with a strong filmmaking tradition and they’re probably not going to mention Slovenia. Slovenia’s a small nation with a population of just over half that of the city of Los Angeles, a language spoken only by its inhabitants, and a long history of being incorporated into other countries and/or empires. It was only as recently as 1991 that Slovenia finally achieved independence. Slovenes have been ...

Muslims miffed by Osama Bin Lego. Mohammed Shaffiq, of Muslim organisation The Ramadhan Foundation, branded the toy “absolutely disgusting”. He said: “It is glorifying terrorism — the makers should be ashamed." Would that Shaffiq and his ilk spoke out so forcefully against Islamic terrorists that are not toys.

Like Shannen Doherty on the original series, Shenae Grimes plays a character on 90210 who’s sweet, Midwestern and new to Beverly Hills drama. But according to the gossip mill, the actress Shenae Grimes isn’t a stranger to being dramatic at all. Maybe she’s a lot more like Shannen Doherty than we think. Perez Hilton reports that the 90210 star has a major rep among her cast mates for being completely intolerable. ...

We’ve been big fans of the Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones since we first got our hands on them. They’ve got a nice style, with a hip-hop vibe, and a fantastic noise-canceling feature. The earcups are surprisingly comfortable, and fold away on the inner side of the glossy black headband, which can then be stored in the included case. The Beats by Dr. Dre studio headphones do requier two AAA batteries for the noise ...

Why not hunker down at the new strip club that officials just okayed to be erected (hah) next to Safeco Field while you wait for the game traffic to die down?

This morning on the radio I heard that Homeland Security had decided to put their bioweapons research in Manhattan, KS. Unfortunately, a lot of the weapons are meant to kill plants and animals. And so they are putting this THING in the middle of the US heartland and breadbasket, They are devastatingly naive about security and experiments. Many labs have released things into the world that they did not mean to -- or ...

Last Tuesday (Nov. 25), I ran a piece about the NBA’s television ratings, wherein I questioned the merits of the previously linked Nielsen story which raved about improved NBA ratings.My quibble was in regard to the way in which the data was presented. Rather than list all the teams’ ratings, it only listed the top ten, a completely flawed methodology. As I argued last week, how can you say the league’s ratings are improved when ...

OBAMA! OBAMA!: No, not that Obama. In fact this event has nothing to do with the President-Elect and everything to do with art--really bad art, to be specific. Spend your Thursday night enjoying (or eviscerating) the Official Bad Art Museum of Art (acronym: OBAMA) at Cafe Racer. Drink some booze, hear a band (called "God's Favorite Beefcake", no less), and enjoy glitter paintings of Elvis...could anything be better? We didn't think so. Band at 8p.m. ...
