Moron Sends 200+ Pictures Of Naked Lady Soldiers To Newspaper For Free
Friday, September 29th, 2006Imagine the hilarity that ensued at the Louisville Courier-Journal when a disc containing over 200 images of nekkid female National Gaurdspeople arrived from an anonymous source.

Thursday, September 28th, 2006This nut graf sticks out like when Hal Jorden activates his Green Lantern power ring:
Less than a year ago, the Tribune Company told The Los Angeles Times to cut millions of dollars from the paper’s budget and get rid of hundreds of jobs. The top editor and the publisher complied.
But when Tribune came calling last […]
NOTICE: Technical Difficulties Ahead
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006If you noticed posts have been coming a little less frequently lately, you are not crazy. I am currently in the process of moving from the lovely windswept hamlet of New York City back to my hometown of Davie, Florida, which will take some time out of my MBF writing. I apologize.

‘Tattletaling’ Actually Used In A Serious Media Headline
Tuesday, September 26th, 2006Ever see the Mr. Show with Bob and David skit about the Peterson Family Newscast? The joke is the fusion of all the lame news conventions with familial sniping and the kind of contempt that only over familiarity can create.

Monday, September 25th, 2006This is just one of those days when you really kind of feel like the weekend news is enough to tide you over until Tuesday, right? I mean like really hold you over. Because the pickens are slim otherwise. Like “Work Makes Freedom” skinny.

Monday, September 25th, 2006Bill Clinton got the on the television Sunday and just flipped a bitch on Chris Wallace (not that Chris Wallace) when he asked the big man about what regrets he had in fighting the then embryonic War on Terror.

Comedy jokes come in threes.
So do triplets.
There were more than three things I didn’t like about Jericho last night.

Okay, So Maybe A Year Was Premature
Thursday, September 21st, 2006When this site started, me and Div Pub Overlord Rob Howard were really filled with piss and vinegar about few things more than TimesSelect. In fact, we went so far as to create a death pool for the online cash grab, set at one year. Well, those who took the ‘over’ can file to the […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 9.20.06
