Pitbull: The Angry American
Friday, April 28th, 2006So a bunch of Latin pop stars cram into a studio and record a version of the national anthem called “Nuestro Himno.” Big deal, fart on it. Seriously, if you don’t like it, fart on it until it turns grey for all I care. Here it is, and to be perfectly honest, anyone who gets […]

Air America To Immerse Itself Into New York City’s Homeless Population
Friday, April 28th, 2006Dialing around on my XM Satellite Radio yesterday I landed on Air America’s Randi Rhodes Show. I must admit that I have never heard the program, and am unfamiliar with her work aside from the HBO documentary Left of the Dial, which portrayed her as the underappreciated second banana at the fledgling lefty radio startup, […]

Rove If You Want To
Thursday, April 27th, 2006News came in yesterday that political mastermind Karl Rove testified for the fifth time to the Leakfest ‘05 grand jury, in an effort to “clean up some things” so they can reach a final resolution.

You Know You’re A Wiener When
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006You get mugged in West Palm Beach.
By “very urban-like” late teen “thugs.”
Who have nicknames like “The Kentuckian.”
And you’re name is David Copperfield.
To his credit however, he did baffle the would-be villains with a deft slight of hand to conceal his passport, wallet and cell phone while seemingly pulling out his pockets. He then commented on […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 4.25.06
Tuesday, April 25th, 2006A man — apparently al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (or comedian Dave Attell) — mocked the U.S.-led effort in Iraq. In a video, posted on the Internet Tuesday, he displays what are said to be newly developed missiles for the insurgents’ battle. A U.S. counterterrorism official told CNN that “it does appear […]

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006Is it Tuesday? Oh, well in that case, it’s time for a 28-year-old whine factory to accuse Maury Povich of presiding over a wild den of breast taping, booze swilling, employee plugging mayhem. According to the $100 million law suit filing by a vengeful producer, Connie Chung’s man has been giving the business to a […]
