How often do comic books inspire real life? I’d say almost never, since I haven’t developed the ability to fly or incinerate anything with my eyeballs yet. But if you could devise something…would it be a super duper arm gauntlet that could stun criminals, house a video camera, and possibly incorporate GPS, biometrics, and chemical sensors. Well, maybe. Perhaps add a batarang and I’m sold! Continue reading

Congressman Anthony Weiner, who is panting to be Mayor of New York someday, was doing okay with the underpants scandal for the first two days. Continue reading
Ellen and Portia are looking to sell their massive estate in Beverly Hills for $60 million dollars. I know, I know, this may not be as unlived in and well kept as Huguette Clark’s 42-room Fifth Avenue Manhattan apartment, $32 million Cold War bomb shelter in Connecticut, or her Santa Barbara estate but it does look pretty nice. I mean, Ellen did buy it for $29 million initially and has put $19 million towards snapping up surrounding mansions. The new, even more massive estate sprawls across an impressive 24,000 square feet which is not too shabby for the star of Mr.Wrong.

Netflix has basically won the internet by garnering almost 30 percent of peak internet traffic per day which is up from 20 percent almost six months ago.
Late to the party as usual, cable companies are now searching for ways to tame the beast. They have decided to put a cap on the amount of data a customer can use each month in hopes that they will keep their cable services in lieu of watching shows online. They could have gone the Hollywood route and tried to work with Netflix, but no they want viewers all to themselves. They want world domination AND a happy ending. Little do they know, this will do nothing to curtail the impending thousand year rule of Netflix.
Jonathan Goldstein is a miserable nebbish who will forever be stuck in the frozen wasteland of Canadian radio, broadcasting to no one. His friends mock him, his parents coddle him and his ex-girlfriends hate him. Mainly because he has a tendency to call after midnight – drunk – asking if he can come over to sleep in the same bed as her and her husband so that he can get a good nights sleep. He is pretentious. He is self-centered. He is egotistical. Jonathan Goldstein, one could say, is a terribly boring troglodyte who just so happens to be the most brilliant figure in entertainment radio. Continue reading
I grew up in a racist household. My parents and grandparents tossed around the n-word and s-word the way Lady Gaga tosses around glitter. I was discouraged from making friends who were not white. Hell, a mixed marriage when I was growing up, right outside Boston, was an Irish marrying an Eye-tal-yan.
I’ve worked hard not be afraid of men of color, because that’s what I was taught as a child. It was beaten into me, so that that it became an instinct. I’m proud to say my intellect has overcome my upbringing. Continue reading
Yesterday the Colombian Senate passed landmark legislation aimed at compensating victims of the 50 years of civil war that have devastated the country. The decades of conflict have killed nearly a quarter of a million people and have left more than three million Colombians internally displaced as they have sought to escape violence between rebels, paramilitaries, drug cartels, and government troops. The Victim’s Law aims to give financial compensation for victims of the conflict, as well as allowing for resettlement of displaced Colombians. Continue reading
I swear he looks like the Bob Barker of the GOP. Right? Shouldn’t he be standing on a sound stage saying something like, “Well, Mary Ann, you’re right! That fabric softener is $2.99! You’ve won a brand new car!” I think so. I totally do not see him as a serious presidential contender.
And for Romney, this is part of the problem
Romney has formally announced his candidacy for president moments ago, wherein he stated that “Barack Obama Has Failed America.” Yawr, okay. This is what they all say. Couldn’t you have come up with something more interesting like, “Barack Obama Has Sold America to China for a fleet of Electric Cars and Donald Trump’s Delusions of Grandeur.” Romney joins former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Minn. Gov. Tim Pawlenty, businessman Herman Cain, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and Texas Rep. Ron Paul as this year’s current stable of GOP dancing monkeys. Continue reading
