Really, journos, really?

MSNBC profiles the weirdest scientific happenings of 2009. Okay. They got a dog to glow in the dark or something, whatever. But tell me, MSNBC, given all the clever out-of-work scribes we’ve got running around, is this the best you could do? That’s one small step for rabbit penises, and potentially one giant hop for restorative [...]

The people who make information for Republicans have no sense whatever.

Today I (D-Brooklyn) recieved my first e-mail from GOP chairman Michael Steele who, as we and many, many others have noted, sucks bad at his job. What am I doing on Republican mailing lists, you ask? Short answer: I have no fucking clue. But for those of you signed up for the DNC list, just [...]

Pullin’ Punches

Boy, sure is a good thing we covered the duff heard ’round the shore. The “edgy” and “extreme” “music” “television network” has decided that reality got a little too real for TV, and has cut the infamous Snooki face-punch scene from this week’s episode of Jersey Shore. Here are some reasons why this is dumb: They [...]

Oh sorry, I forgot this is a blog, and so we’re mandated to write something about Jersey Shore

We watched the fuck out of Jersey Shore last night, brah. Some stuff happened. Some real important stuff that I’d have a better handle on if it weren’t for all the beer and drug. Someone was in a hot tub, some babes made out in there, I think, maybe with The Situation? I don’t know, [...]

Remember when I said I wouldn’t say anything else about Tiger Woods?

I LIED! Unintentionally. The Smoking Gun posted some materials today, and this vintage-looking paperback, which had apparently been riding in the back of Woods’ Escalade, caught my eye. Turns out I wasn’t the only one. The WSJ has the lowdown: “Get a Grip on Physics” was originally published in Britain in 1999 by Ivy Press as “Get [...]

This post expresses a form of sympathy for Sarah Palin, so we got a Drudge Siren to draw attention to it.

When you’re famous, you have to do things like, I don’t know, wash thoroughly under the arms, wear things that match, and, when things get really crunched, maintain a schedule. On the other hand, if you’re a disgruntled, semi-employed Indianan, you needn’t do any of those things and, judging by the crowd in Noblesville, you assume [...]

The youngs, the west, and their fucking bicycles.

If it were true, as I momentarily considered, that youth culture comes, like the weather, from the west, then an article like this might have a home in New York Times. It doesn’t. But if not for that premise, why publish it at all? Is it, indeed, a new phenomenon that bicycles are the mode of transportation [...]

peni..nsula vs. peen-isle

Florida looks like a phallus. There’s no getting around it, and sometimes it can be a liability, as we reported last week. But now, Cuba’s getting in on the action and, based on this photo, is looking to channel this local weatherman for a good, old fashioned swordfight with its neighbor to the north: Yes, everything is [...]
