Oh, hot, throbbing, muscle cakes. The Channing Tatum Mouth Garbling-Stripper-Chest Nipple-Steak-And-Ab-Sweat-Lick-Moat movie trailer is here! Are you excited? Should you be excited? Well, that depends. How much do you care about Channing’s climb from stripper to what, a furniture maker? Uh, an inexplicable Hollywood star? Er, uh, a walking, gyrating, pot roast of sex dimples and cake frosted ass cheeks? Continue reading

“Sometimes, when “all the facts are in,” it’s worse.” – Brad Hicks –
I came across this article while doing my research for the Daily Sausage, and wanted to do a full write-up, because it represents a textbook example of how disasters occur and what happens when they do. Continue reading
The Better Business Bureau’s biannual Secure Your ID Day is this Saturday, April 21. They take up to three boxes or bags of documents and put them directly into a shredding truck. Find your participating BBB by state here. This is a great opportunity to get rid of bills, statements, medical papers, and any document you don’t quite trust in your regular recycling.
If you don’t see your state or region represented, contact the business office of your local BBB and express your interest in future events.
Today is the seventeenth anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. 168 people lost their lives on that day and the small, tightly-knit community they lived in has never been the same. The striking thing about this year’s anniversary is that it seems to have been forgotten. The national media is busy discussing the Secret Service Scandal, the death of Dick Clark, and the character of Ann Romney. The largest terrorist attack on American soil before 9/11 is not worthy of a front-page mention of any of my usual news outlets. Continue reading

The Ronettes, early 1960s
When I initially contemplated this series, I began with the intention of exploring areas of the music world I felt merited reexamination. Occasionally, this means that I choose to focus on genres and artists that have been overlooked in their significance (Twee Pop, Black Flag, New Jersey’s musical legacy) and other times, this means that I try and advocate on behalf of artists I feel have been unjustly maligned or inaccurately judged, as I did with the Grateful Dead. Rarely, and most difficultly, those two strains intersect to create a genre/artist that feels both critically under-appreciated and unfairly appraised as insignificant fluff. Such is the case with the Girl Groups of the 1950s and 1960s. Continue reading
Seeing as how the GOP nominating season is effectively over now that Rick Santorum is done talking about coal miner’s ovaries or whatever, the Romney campaign can now focus on important things. Important things like sending a bus to follow the President around at his appearances, or trying to make a thing of the fact that the President ate dog meat as a child.
Really, the campaign should focus on a much more important next step: picking a campaign theme song. A campaign theme song can tell voters so much about who you are as a candidate. Are you hip, down to earth, yet totally inspirational and leadershipfull? (Yes, I made that last one up) Continue reading
This past Friday The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson aired its 1,500th show. It’s been on the air, with the Scottish born comic/actor Ferguson as host, for eight years. CBS just renewed Ferguson’s contract through the 2014 season. The show won a Peabody award in 2009 and Ferguson was nominated for an Emmy in 2006.
Nevertheless, chances are pretty good you’ve never seen it; it starts at 12:37 am for heaven’s sake, when most normal people are well asleep. The ratings, naturally, bear that up. The Late Late Show averaged about 1.6 million viewers this season (compared to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’s 1.8). But still, that’s 1.6 million people who, I promise, are laughing their asses off.
