Matt Lauer Finally Deserving Of A Remark

Dec

1

2017

Matt Lauer. Up until a few days ago the mention of that name, for the average American, inspired an almost remarkable non-reaction. Maybe that half second feeling you get when you hold a glass under an ice dispenser. Do you need ice in your water? Sure, why not. Although, you could certainly do without it. ...

Opinon: Stop Serving Lamar Odom Booze

Nov

2017

After Lamar Odom was seen collapsing while out for a night of drinking at Bootsy Bellows nightclub on the Sunset Strip I had a novel idea: maybe if you own or manage a bar, don’t give Lamar Odom any alcohol. This is for the both of your benefit. First of all he could easily die ...

Nov

2017

There has never been a stronger political divide in the history of America. You’re either firmly on the left or firmly on the right. There is no room for thought or reason anymore. Whatever you believe will be confirmed by FOX or MSNBC or Facebook or Twitter. Donald Trump is obviously corrupt. It appears his ...

2017

In light of the Harvey Weinstein saga, it may behoove us to recap the career of Victor Salva for some perspective. He is a man who has found steady work in Hollywood as a director. A brief history: In 1989, while on the set of his first feature length film entitled Clownhouse, Victor Silva recorded video ...

Why Is Nobody Racist Against The Russians? 1

Oct

1

2017

An honest question to Republicans: If there was mounting evidence that Russia interfered in a United States presidential election and conspired to discredit the Republican candidate, wouldn’t you all be talking a ton of shit about Russian Americans right now? Saying things like “Deport Them” or even being complacent with a ban Russian travel ban? ...

Dateline: Orthodox Jewish Woman’s Thrill Seeking Behavior At The 99 Cent Store

Sep

15

2017

I generally avoid the 99 Cent Store because of its strong association with loserdom, and because I’m fine with paying an extra ten cents for a bag of carrots without wondering how the 99 Cent Store brokered a deal for them. This is the same establishment that occasionally just happens upon a surplus of socks ...

In the world, 7 out of every 100,000 people will be murdered. There are currently 15 wars going on in which at least a thousand people were killed the previous calendar year. By far the two most deadly are the US led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. In the US, nearly one out of a ...

The ESPY’s Pat Tillman Award Could Be Missing The Mark 1

Jul

2017

If you’re not completely ridden with diabetes you might question why the ESPY’s exist. Why do we need an award show for sports? We already have an award show for sports. It’s called the trophy presentation, and it’s televised directly after you beat everyone else at your sport. This isn’t the movies. It’s not subjective. ...

Why I Am Hating On Kevin Durant 6

Jun

2017

Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors and subsequently winning a Championship bothered me. A lot. If you’re one of those simple people who thinks proclaiming two syllables of mom slang can parachute you out of a discussion, you will say to me, You’re just being a Hater. And then your face bill go blank ...

Tiger Woods And The Prescription Drug Patriarchy

Jun

1

2017

Tiger Woods issued a statement taking great pains to explain that he wasn’t drunk when he was found asleep in his smashed up car on the freeway. Well, that’s a relief. I would hate to think people under the influence of a drug strong enough to induce a mini coma were under the influence of alcohol. ...
