Clark Call Gossip Links

Clark Call. You DEFINITELY want to accept the charges!

Hello? Hello? Look, darling, I’ve no time to explain. Can you come down to the police station with a C-note, an apricot-colored standard poodle that does tricks, and a couple of bottles out of Jerry’s Lagavulin stash? It’s kind of an emergency, and even if it weren’t, it would still be a heck of a party.

If you check out the gossip links below, you’ll see all the other degenerates I’ve invited. No, no, calm down: we won’t ruin your carpets. Why do you think I’m having it at the police station? Well, as a matter of fact I was arrested, but don’t change the subject! Oh, don’t be silly, that Rosalind Russell never meant a thing to me; it was all about the work. No, it’s just a misdemeanor, it’s nothing. Did I say “bring cash?”

And lots of ice, too, darling.

Don’t End Up Under (Actual) Water in Your New Home

The rising costs of the American dream

Ever heard of FEMA? I’m sure in this post-Katrina age we live in that you have. The Federal Emergency Management Agency steps in to provide assistance when a disaster strikes somewhere in the US. But that’s not all. FEMA also offers the National Flood Insurance Program to provide coverage for people living in areas that are considered to be in a hazard zone for flooding. Participation in the flood insurance program is deemed mandatory when your property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area. With a standard annual premium of $1800 or more, even ‘if the creek don’t rise’ the cost of your insurance could surely drown you. Continue reading

Zombie Paul Revere Has a Message for Sarah Palin

After making a serious flub and mangling American history for all to see, you would think that a person would keep quiet, and you know, maybe let the story just fade into the ether without further comment or display of utter, complete asinine commentary. But, well, that wouldn’t be the Sarah Palin that we all know and love. No sirree. The Sarah Palin rule of thumb is to stick to your story no matter how silly, and hope all the magical beans and dumbfuckery that exists on Wikipedia will carry you through the embarrassing irony of speaking wrongly about historic America while you have the Constitution emblazoned on the side of your bus of miraculous stupid.

Paul Revere would like to have a word. Continue reading

QOTD: Who’s Your Top Chef?

Way to go, jerk. You’ve killed 369 people in a freak blowtorch incident (sure, you say accident, but you also say Crocs are acceptable footwear, which has lost you all credibility), and now you’re on death row. One perk, though–you do get that delightful last meal. Yes, I suppose you could choose it yourself and have your mom’s fried chicken or this fantastic truffle with truffle sauce, drizzled with truffle oil, that you once had at Eau de Truffle, but in Crasstalk Maximum Security Prison, the rules dictate that you have to rely on the wisdom, taste, and skill of your favorite chef–whose food you may or may not have actually tasted–to make the menu for you.

And so, for today’s Question of the Day: Which chef, celebrity or otherwise, would you entrust with your last meal? Continue reading

The Best #Weinergate Tweets

Have political-sex-scandals always been this much fun, or is there just something about a Weiner joke in 140 characters or less? I’m going with the latter and I have a feeling you will too.

We all remember how it started – the simple, almost-scandalous-but-not-really tweet seen ’round the world. That, my friends, was just the beginning. Since the original tweet, Twitter has been all … a-twitter on the issue.

Stephen Colbert wanted to get in on the fun so much, he tweeted his butt cheeks! Continue reading

Tuesday Morning Headlines

Let me tell you something about newsrooms. I don’t care if it’s network television and radio, a small-market cable-access station, the New York Daily News, the New York Post, the LA Times, Newsweek or the Star. Every newsroom in the nation is staffed with people who have the brains of twelve year old boys. Continue reading
