Justin Timberlake is still acting or something; Showtime doesn’t want to win any awards; Kanye gets Middle Eastern; Random co-stars picked out of a hat, or a genius coupling; and Newt Gingrich wants to get pretty for you guys! Continue reading

Let’s just stop pretending that every time Mitt Romney opens his mouth and makes a smug comment extolling his exceeding wealth, thereby negating any moral virtue, that he’s making some sort of gaffe or has succumbed to poor word choice. No. This man is a rich bastard who thinks like one and there’s nothing he can do to hide it. Continue reading
The National Film Board of Canada, Ravida Din, and Lea Poole are currently considered the frontrunners to win the (newly created) Oscar for Most Awesome Time To Release Your Documentary. On February 3, the trio will publicly release Pink Ribbons, Inc. aka How A Serious Ass Disease Became a Pink Oilfield for the Fortune 100. The documentary is based on a 2006 book of the same name by Professor Samantha King.
Hollyweird’s critical class is placing the trio as the 3:1 favorite to win because their film, which made the festival rounds in 2011, will be publicly released days after Hacktivist #1 Susan G. Komen For the Cure got itself into pickle over their choice to kowtow to right-wing pressure and stop supporting Planned Parenthood. This decision has reignited a long simmering debate over the problematic and profitable partnerships the organization has created within corporate America in their mission to eradicate breast cancer. Founder and CEO Nancy Brinker is personally called into question on account of at least three board of directors positions that appear to be at direct odds with her charitable work. Continue reading
Don Cornelius, creator, producer and host of the iconic Soul Train television show, was found dead this morning of a gun-shot wound. No foul play is suspected but the investigation is on-going. A tragic ending to a historic career that put black musical artists on one of the longest-running syndicated shows in television history. Cornelius was an elegant and dapper man, who will be respected for his contributions to the American landscape for many years to come. Continue reading
A dear friend of mine swears by a book of all-natural cleaners. I didn’t care for information on her Bible of Clean because I have an amazing cleaner. Bleach and water, or vinegar and water but mostly bleach.
I have a general rule that I won’t go in a home that doesn’t the Clorglorious because said house must be icky. Only icky people have icky homes ergo I can’t trust the bleachless. I love my Organic Girl but I say she’s the exception that proves the rule.
Dance Moms time! I’m starting to think I should drink more before watching these. Previously on Dance Moms, which you don’t need because you can just read my recaps! Continue reading
Fact: Unless you are a Patriots fan, Giants fan, or degenerate gambler, Sunday’s Super Bowl holds little direct value for you. You used to get psyched for the commercials, but now you can just watch those all online, for better or worse.
So, you’ve got no skin in the game, and little other reason to stay glued to the TV this Sunday, right? Then why would you even bother dragging over to some acquaintance’s house on a Sunday night in the dead of winter?
The food, stupid. Continue reading
Yep, we made it. The announcement of the finalists for the 2012 Bloggies came out this morning and our little life raft in the internet sea is up for the best Community Blog award. I cannot tell you how gratifying this is for Bots, Dogs, and I. You can vote here. Continue reading
Florida has spoken! Stupid, stupid Florida. The relentless Republican nomination process grinds on. First, the pig men of Iowa listlessly anointed Dick Santorum with the manure-encrusted sweater of victory. Then the flinty maple miners of New Hampshire chose Willard “10k” Romney to wear the sticky-but-coveted Maple Crown. Repulsive space-monster Newton Leroy Gingrich topped them both, though, winning the allegiance of South Carolina’s shrimp-herds and skin-clad hill people. Three contests, three different winners. Enough of these ridiculous micro-states. Now it was up to Florida–goofy, electorally incompetent Florida–to make some sense of the increasingly absurd Republican nomination contest. The disgraced former House Speaker hoped to capitalize on his victory in the swamps of South Carolina, and lay a final beat-down on shiny, gold-plated, employee-firing-enthusiast Willard “10k” Romney. Romney, in turn, hoped to finally crush the last of the upstarts who dared question his claim on the nomination. Santorum was there to–hell, who knows. Escape the glum Pennsylvania winters, I suppose. Undead specter Ron Paul gave up on the state entirely a few days before the primary and went to the wintery wastes of Maine to troll amongst the lobster-hunters and potato-gatherers for votes in their upcoming caucus.
