Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.21.06
Monday, August 21st, 2006And so begins our gleaming, new week. Pretty good start, I give it a B-. Just don’t get cocky with it. I know you.

James Frey Is Not Popular
Monday, August 21st, 2006The commenters at Deadspin.com are quickly becoming mandatory internet reading. They kind of remind me of the Ain’t It Cool News talkbackers if you switched a love/hate relationship for Matt Damon with a love/hate relationship for Johnny Damon. A loose confederation of them even started their own popular NFL blog, Kissing Suzy Kolber, which has […]
Sometimes, They Just Write Themselves
Monday, August 21st, 2006Real lede-
Confessed JonBenet Ramsey killer John Mark Karr’s sickeningly sumptuous flight to Los Angeles came to an abrupt end early today when his plane landed and he was quickly pounced upon by a half dozen customs agents - who whisked him to a local jail.

That Is Not How We Do Business Here
Friday, August 18th, 2006Dave Chapelle tells a joke in his classic 2000 stand-up special Killin’ Them Softly, where he imagines then-governor Bush taking the presidency, knowing only that he had a collegiate history of cocaine use. He predicted an addled Bush selling nuclear secrets for $20 and, taking the negotiating tactics of the addict in Menace 2 Society […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.17.06
Thursday, August 17th, 2006Hey, I moonlight over at Steelerblog.com, so anyone who wants to read a post about the future of Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher, can go here. I make one joke about child abuse (the punchy, not the swimsuit area, kind) so even if you don’t like sports, there’s always that.
Also, as long as I am self […]
UPDATE: Topher Might Be A Big Telling Tall Tales
Thursday, August 17th, 2006Ash Graf commented on the last post:
Why do pedophiles always have to look like pedophiles?
Well what if this pedophile didn’t look like pedophile so much as a big fat fibber?
In fact, you hear that grumbling? That low hum from the bowls of the Earth is this whole John Karr ruse about to explode in the […]
We Finally Know…
Thursday, August 17th, 2006After the vilification of her family. After all the tabloid headlines and perpetuate television speculation. After the American populace had completely forgotten about that cute little girl and her tragic, nefarious end. We know Topher Grace killed JonBene Ramsey.

Three Stars of the Newscycle: 8.16.06
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006Today, Wednesday, big whoop. They say that August is the slow news month and I know I’ve carp about it every day but it seems like we are operating on a 94-hour newscycle here. It’s painful, really, really painful.
So what is a tyke like me to do? Well, I can post two clever bits from […]
Breathe In, Breathe Out
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006Nothing gets the Blogosphere a twitching like arrogance. Big, sweaty, nasty arrogance dripping off the hairy body of a big, greedy corporation. Yeah man, it’s that kind of shit that makes you want to spray paint a logo onto poster board, just so you can also spray paint Calvin peeing on it.
So imagine the hot […]
