Loser Presidential Candidate, Mitt Romney, Besieged By Hair Demons Apparently (UPDATED)

Whoa. We’re not sure we’ve ever seen Mitt Romney look so, well, unpolished if we’re being kind. If we’re being honest, he looks like a group of flying monkeys decided to have their way with his heretofore unflappable hair follicles. And where’s the smug smirk? The pandering grin? The rock-solid confidence and irrefutable take charge attitude? Dressed in a rumpled shirt and pants with a wilted shirt collar and the pallor of a plate of carbohydrates, he looks like a guy who’s taken to eating at Arby’s. Christ, the road after the election seems to be full of tear-stained pillows and sweat-soaked hairdos lacking in pomade or attention. Mitt Romney now pumps his own gas in La Jolla.

Guy Fieri Can’t Be the Worst Food Network Star Can He?

Now that Guy Fieri’s new Times Square restaurant has been effectively torpedoed by critics for serving up cuisine apparently not fit for a truck stop restroom during an apocalypse, you’d think that he’s the worst thing to come out of The Food Network despite all his success with the channel and in the business of celebrity chefdom. Well, that may be subjective. For what it’s worth, it seems The Food Network is really some sort of clearing house for abominable cooks whose creations are often the butt of many a joke.

“Channing Tatum Looks Like a Thumb Compared to Ryan Gosling!” Screams RyGos Fans

Hmmm. Ryan Gosling fans are mad and they’re not going to take it anymore. Apparently for two years in a row Ryan Gosling has been snubbed. He hasn’t been named People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” an honor once held by Nick Nolte. And this infraction just isn’t sitting well with TeamRyan. Somewhere though, Nick Nolte chuckles as he covers himself in gin and Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Continue reading →

Mitt Romney Joins Legions of Republicans with Post-Election Sour Grapes with Own Sour Grapes

While the president today in a press conference stated his desire to work with Mitt Romney, the failed politician who vied for the presidency decided it would be a good opportunity to discuss all the “gifts” the president gave out to the electorate for their vote. Oh, yeah, he meant specifically to minorities. Continue reading →

Will Peter Wells’ Scathing Review of Guy Fieri’s New Restaurant Fall on Deaf Ears?

New York Times restaurant reviewer, Peter Wells, lobbed what may be one of the most succinct and snarky take downs of any restaurant in recent memory. Well, at least one that’s owned by a famous television food-show personality. But to the masses that enjoy Guy Fieri’s on-screen persona and sloppy sandwich hijinks on his popular Food Network programs Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Guy’s Big Bite will it really matter?

The Petraeus Affair: Powerful Men Pledging Allegiance to Almighty Sex

Just three days after president Obama’s historic re-election news hit the airwaves of General David Petraeus’ illicit affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell. In the days that followed not only was there talk of FBI involvement, racy emails, and harassment, but a second woman has been uncovered as yet another potential love interest for the high-ranking officer whom allegedly set off a maelstrom of potential jealousy on the part of Broadwell, and led to the uncovering of the affair and Petraeus’ subsequent resignation from his post as CIA director amid shame and innuendo.

Why Women Should Support President Obama

If it were the late 1960’s and we were existing in a time when Kings of the Universe, like the Don Draper type, reigned would we acknowledge the only jobs that would be considered respectable and acceptable for a woman outside of helping the war effort in times of dire need, would be either secretary, teacher, or nurse, but never the subversive desire to write barn-burning articles for the local newspaper about inequality between the sexes and how few really seem to care about the concerns of the so-called fairer sex. Mostly. Continue reading →
