My Friends, I Don’t Believe a Word That McCain Said Last Night… My Friends…

Filed Under Politics | 6 Comments

Last night John McCain defeated his Republican challenger J.D. Hayworth by an unsurprising two-to-one margin. At his victory speech, McCain vowed to reel in out of control spending and repeal Obamacare. He needs more time to reel in out of control spending — 24 years hasn’t been nearly enough. I don’t believe “Mr. Reach out [...]

It’s reported that Sean Penn is in Ireland shooting a movie in which he looks to be playing either Robert Smith from The Cure or Susan Boyle: Personally I think Sean’s dressing this way because Hugo is “into it.” (h/t Allahpundit via Twitter)

Filed Under Economy, Politics | 14 Comments

Yoko Ono, Uh, Sings… or Something

Filed Under Celebrity Idiots, Humor | 5 Comments

Calling this an “art piece” is like calling a massive explosion of the city sewer system accompanied by the agonozing screams of its fecal-covered victims an… art piece. Ono’s shriek just also happens to be the mating call of the Tinnitus Warbler, so I understand several birds were injured after slamming into the window during [...]

China’s ‘Vastly Superior Infrastructure’ Update

Filed Under Politics, World News | 4 Comments

In the summer of 2008, President Obama praised the “vastly superior” infrastructure of China. All we need to do is look at the highway system around Beijing for proof of that superiority: I don’t think the infrastructure of Los Angeles has ever gotten that vastly superior — except maybe when Obama’s visiting.

Facebook: The Movie

Filed Under Culture, Entertainment | Leave a Comment

Actually the movie is called “Social Network,” but I guess it’s about the guy who started Facebook. I thought a better title was “The Unfriending,” but that didn’t stick. This is a movie from Aaron Sorkin, who wrote A Few Good Men, so look for some dramatic and memorable lines, such as “You can’t handle [...]

Bridge to Nowhere II: Stimulus Edition

Filed Under Economy, Politics | 7 Comments

People always joked about the late Alaska Senator Ted Stevens trying to secure hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for a “Bridge to Nowhere,” but at least the Bridge to Nowhere would have gone somewhere. This bridge in New Hampshire received $150,000 in stimulus funding for “rehabilitation,” and it literally goes nowhere: Here’s some local [...]
