She is a Moron, Ya' Know?
Daily News-
Criticized for ignoring reporters after her name surfaced as a possible Clinton replacement, Kennedy sat down with the media this weekend. Displaying her notorious shyness during the 30-minute chat, the mother of three, author and public education advocate was pleasant, but spoke softly and rarely made eye contact. Her speech was often punctuated with extra “you knows”...
Highly Competitive Movie Houses Battled for the...
For a 2 hours and 47 minute movie, Brad Pitt’s Benjamin Button flic did great (As it should have), but not as good as Brad’s ex’s (J.Anniston) flic, Marley and Me. Americans seem to fall for dog movies. Tom Cruise’s Nazi flic Valkyrie didn’t do so hot and revealed Cruise’s diminishing star power. Jim Carey’s Yes Man reached over $50 million which is a...
Cruising on Clowd 9
Brooks Laich is on fire and had two goals tonight against the Maple Leafs. Ovi also added two goals, bringing his season goal total to 25!!!!
ESPN.COM-
Everything seems to be going just right for the Capitals at home, where they have won six games in a row. When you add in a six-game home winning streak at the end of last season, they have won 21 of their past 23 games in Washington.

The News Could be Better @ Sirius
The best tech device in my life right now has to be my iPhone. Its pure utility can not be put into words. When people ask “Do you like your iPhone?” I quickly respond with an honest testimonial, “It’s not a phone. It’s a computer.” People who don’t own the phone simply can’t understand what they’re missing. Its utility is limitless with...
Mother Russia is Bracing for Disaster.
Well, with the falling price in oil, trading at just over $39/barrel on Friday, the Russian Ruble is on the SLIDE!!!!!!!
Reading about the economic disaster, It makes me think Revolution could be in the air, but approval ratings of the government hover in the 70% area. But if households begin finding it difficult to put food on the tabel, things could change-overnight.
The Rubel is in a free...
A Dream of Mine
One day, that would be a dream of mine. To sit behind that wooden table, in front of that fluorescently lit black back drop, and do the talking. A dream that would be. Mr.Rose is doing a good job for now, but that chair has my eyes on it.
Political Campaigners Take Note
In this weeks edition of The Atlantic, the Quick Study section had an interesting tid bit on America’s voting tendencies.
Election- The Political Unconscious
“Here’s a tactic disheartened political strategists might try in 2012. Researchers subliminally flashed the word RATS before showing a picture of a political candidate, and viewers rated the candidate much more...

Who Has the Dino Juice?
I call oil Dino Juice because my favorite boss, Dave Harvey, called it Dino Juice. He’s a person I try to model myself after, so hence the name of this entry. If you know who David Harvey is (owner of ports cafe) you will appreciate the admiration I have for the guy:)
Gas is cheap again! HOORAY! Environmentalists are pissed, because as most people thought, small cars aren’t really...
Soon to be on my Back
I’ve been a big hockey fan for about three years, since Alex Ovechkin stepped on to the ice at the Phone Booth (Verizon Center)….It just happened that the NHL went on strike in 03-04, the year Ovechkin was drafted first over all by the Washignton Capitals at age 18. That meant he had an extra year to mature and blossom into the superstar that he is today.
My freshman year at AU...
America Fucks up the Krauts in Round One Action
USA Today-
The American trio of James van Riemsdyk, Colin Wilson and Jordan Schroeder is being cast as perhaps the best line at the World Junior Championships, and in the opening game the unit played that role to perfection.
The No. 1 line contributed four goals and nine points to pace USA to an 8-2 thumping of Germany on Friday afternoon as WJC pool play began in Ottawa. “They are going...
Thanks Fox and Friends.
While watching a clip of Fox and Friends featuring a Hooter Girl doing the sports update, one of their platinum blond cast members blurted out htt://www.peoplewhodeserveit.com
I checked it out, and it’s pretty amusing. It defines all types of people who deserve legitimate ass whoopings. Kind of based upon the same principles as stuff white people like dot com, but more angry.

Dubious Caroline......
“Voting is the minimum thing that you can do, and she hasn’t done that. The next thing you can do is you could donate money, and she hasn’t done that,” said Doug Muzzio, professor of public affairs at Baruch College.
According to the tabloidish Daily News, Caroline simply hasn’t been interested in politics, and has at times not even voted! Which raises the question...

Who is the Real Rahm Emanuel?
Most liberals were happy with the appointment of Rahm Emanuel for Obama’s chief of staff…..at first. He was known as a congressional leader among democrats, and was known to fight tooth and nail if he had to. But like most congressman who get things done, there were times when he reached across the aisle…or maybe he cuddled with members of the opposition over an open fire, if...
Blink-182 Reunion Rumors?
Maybe Travis Barkers near detath plane crash could lead to some good, that is you think Blink 182 could put out good music 10 years after the release of DudeRanch…..
MTV.com-
Hoppus seemed more upbeat about the possibility — at least avoiding saying “no” — in his blog post last month. “In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom, Travis and I have all...
More Reasons to Love Bob Barker
This months edition of Mental Floss Magazine had a great feature. “Why We Love Bob Barker.” One of the reasons really stood out.
During the 1970’s, Bob Barker was the host of the Miss America pageant. He hosted for over 10 years, until he couldn’t take it anymore……
Starting in 1983, the competitions management decided to add a new segment, evening wear,...
What I Got Mom for Christmas
I love Artie Lange, and I love my mom. My mom, at 61, is also a fan of The Howard Stern show and has read all of Howard’s books, so I thought this book would be a nice addition to the Stern collection (Artie is Stern’s right hand man.)
The Jim Beam belongs to my alcoholic aunt Sandra.
Best Bands of 2008
Manchester Orchestra
I got their CD from WCDB’s radio station after hearing it on Sirius. Emotionally laden lyrics with a hard edge. I assume they’d be great live.
Dr.Manhattan
Met these guys in 2007 and they put out their first self titled album in 2008. I roadied for them in August, and their live performances are hands down amazing. They live to perform.
Ra Ra Riot

Despite Rule Changes, Fighting Is on the Rise
NYT-Mitch Fritz is a 28-year-old left wing from Osoyoos, British Columbia, who stands 6 feet 8 inches and weighs 258 pounds. He has a goatee, and the knuckles on his left hand are often covered with dark scabs. He is not with the Islanders because he can score.
The number of fights is up by about 15 percent over last season and by 75 percent over three years ago, meaning that players who can...
A FAUX Letter to the Editor
In today’s NYT, readers were treated to a condemning letter pertaining to the Caroline for Senate campaign……Only it was fake. It allegedly came from the Mayor of Paris, Bertrand Delanoë, but according to the times, after verification which came after the paper went to printing, the Parisian mayor had nothing to do with it.
Here is the Letter in full……….

Christmas News Alert.... PEE WEE'S COMING BACK!
Yes, he has been known to touch himself in public, albeit it was at a Tampa porno theatre. The man I’m talking about is Paul Rubins, also known as PEE WEE HERMAN!!!!
The man-boy creep allegedly is coming back in 2009, in a long awaited feature film titled “Pee Wee’s Playhouse; The Movie.”
It’s been nearly 20 years since Pee Wee’s been on the big screen. His...
My Mom is Friends With Spies
Look who sent my mom a Christmas card. Good old John Ashcroft, former Bush Attorney General!
Aint Life Sweet?
It’s rare the Capitals are on television in NYS, so when they are, I try not to miss a game. Tuesday night, The Capitals visited the Madison Square Garden to play the NY Rangers and the game was on MSG Network.
The game started at 7pm and I walked in a few minutes late……already down 1 to nothing…. 5 minutes later, NY scored again. 11 seconds later, they scored for a...
David Spade Looks to Bulster his NRA Credentials
With the economy floundering like never before, more and more people are being forced to go to soup kitchens and unemployment lines, seeking charitible benefits like never before. So it would seem natural that those blessed with financial security who had extra money to share might help the less fortunate in our communities.
Not David Spade. Instead of filling stomachs, he’s filling cop...
A Must See Movie
I called my boy C.ritter at 10:30 tonight to see what he was up to. He told me he was at the local theatre, about to see the new Brad Pitt movie, a movie I have been waiting to see for months.
I arrived a few minutes late, but not too far into the movie that I missed anything. It was such a joy to watch. The F.Scott Fitzgerald short story was brilliantly adapted to the big screen, and Brad Pitt...
Debt Free. The Way to Be!
For the last three or four months, I’ve been receiving emails from Bill, Hillary, Chelsea, and even Joe Biden, all begging me to donate to Hillary…….But I thought she had stopped campaigning for the Presidency in June??? She did.
As if I was a relative being tapped to help a financially strapped inlaw, the emails kept coming- seekign major debt relief, over 10million dollars...
She Could be Looking Worse.
There aren’t many celeb’s i take personally dislike, but Amy Winehouse might top the list. I just hate her music, her unwaranted praise, and the attention the press give to her (I’m writing about her now..)
This pic was taken this week while Winehouse was vacationing in St.Lucia…..It’s surprising, because most pics I’ve seen of Winehouse lately either have...
1-15 to 10-5....Who is to blame?
My Brother is the biggest Dolphins fan I know. He picked the wrong season to leave the country. But in the middle of Korea’s nights, he rises and goes to an American sports bar, and watches the Dolphins rise from the dead……And the QB leading the charge? None other than my boy Chad Pennington.
This season the Jets cut Pennington and brought in a 43 year old. The Jets have done...
HAPPY HANNUKAH!
Jets Blow. I've Called it All Along
The Jets lost to the Seattle Seahawks today, pathetically not scoring 1 touchdown…..similar to their loss to the Raiders. The Jets have been over rated the whole season, and with the Dolphins and Pats winning, the Jets no longer control their own destiny.
Thomas Tamm. A REAL American Patriot
This weeks issue of Newsweek features an exclusive interview with Thomas Tamm, the whistle blower from the Justice Department who went to the press with the Illegal spy ring the Bush administration created.
Tamm wasn’t an insider within the “program” which spied on American citizens, but when he gathered enough information by connecting the dots, he began to understand how...

One of the biggest punditocratic miscalculations of the year. Mr Kristol’s op/ed contract with the New York Times runs out at the end of this month, and I am very happy to see the douche bag go. I would like to see a conservative voice stay...
The Trash That Keeps on Coming
From Gawker.com-
“Good news: the mother of Sarah Palin’s daughter’s boyfriend was not arrested for meth. No, Sherry Johnston was arrested for oxycontin. What wonderful communities our small towns are.
Sherry Johnston, mother of Levi Johnston, who we are pretty sure is still being forced to marry the chick he knocked up even though the Palins will not be headed to the White...

Online Jihadist website, talking about using Facebook as a tool to recruit and indoctrinate others into joining the lost cause. Out of the caves and onto the web.
Hi: We Went to American University......
Keep in mind this Facebook Wall dialogue is between a New Yorker and a dirty Jersian.
I hate the idea of a monarchist passing of the political torch to a light weight undeserving novice, and the New Jersey guy is supportive of the idea that experience allegedly means nothing because the brilliant American electorate doesn’t require any resume at all. Mr. NJ also doesn’t mind the...
A Mild Defense of Caroline Kennedy
Or, Caroline Kennedy: Why the hell not.
A lot of cranky New Yorkers are up-in-arms this week (this page’s editor, included) over the Public Relations campaign currently being run by Caroline Kennedy in hopes that she can convince Gov. David Patterson that she should be the next Junior Senator from the State of New York. Frankly, I’m surprised by the amount of criticism and negative...
