For Profit Venture By Night, Libertarian Delight
Thursday, September 14th, 2006Those rascals at Google are making a splash today with the announcement that their philanthropic arm Google.org will be a for profit venture, meaning they will have to file taxes in exchange for the ability to solicit venture capital, form partnerships and lobby congress.
One would figure that the normal libertarian supporters would applaud this move, […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 9.13.06
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006Remember when I kept bitching about how slow the news was during the summer? Well it isn’t any more, so now I am going to celebrate.
(Justin distributes party favors to his 15 readers)
Okay, now who wants to hear about the mother of a kidnapped baby (fyi: she prolly did it) shooting herself in the head […]
The WORST LEDE OF THE DAY
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006Ladies and gentlemen, since the very beginning of this site we have wanted to debut this feature, we are very proud to start today.
If you have read me drone on here at Media Bitchfest then it’s likely you read several sources of news a day. If you read several sources of news a day then […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 9.12.06
Tuesday, September 12th, 2006Steve Jobs opened his mouth today so it’s time for us to pry apart our eager beaks and swallow the delicious nutrition he pours forth. Mmmmmm, what’s in there this time? Well, it turns out he’s struck a tremendous deal with himself at Disney to bring all of that company’s flicks onto the iPod. The […]
Hoopla Doesn’t Pan, World To Recalibrate
Tuesday, September 12th, 2006Turns out the Clinton camp overlooked the best possible defense against the allegedly rabblerousing Path to 9/11 docudramarama: nobody watched. Yup, the much ballyhooed two-part flick’s debut couldn’t even beat Fox’s animation block comprised of the first eps of the season for The Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy and When Can Woody Allen Put Michael […]
Three Stars of the Newscycle: 9.11.06
Monday, September 11th, 2006You know that point in a series of movies where the bad guy is defeated and is banished or has to go to prison or something. Then in like the third or fourth movie he comes back, but is seemingly reformed. He says all the right things and makes all the right moves, he doesn’t […]
Join The Chorus!
Monday, September 11th, 2006Or, as Gawker points out, maybe it’s more just the New York Times that is obsessed with HBO’s The Wire to the point of name checking it almost obsessively.
But wait! There is also clamoring from another of our favorite fountains of fortune: Ain’t It Cool News. Herc of the Coaxil even points to stand-up comic […]
Never So Few
Monday, September 11th, 2006I have had a pretty bad cold all weekend complete the sound that 200+ German Sheppards make emanating from my wheezing throat on Sunday morning and enough snot to make a spot repair on a Space Shuttle prior to launch. Thankfully, I am getting over it now and I have only the residual mucus clogging […]
Lazy Friday: All’s Quiet On The Western Front
Friday, September 8th, 2006The facebook war is over if you want it. Oh, and I guess you do.
Cue the music….
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life […]
How About You Lash Laroux? Think You Can Keep Your Spurs From Jingling and Jangling?
Friday, September 8th, 2006To recap:
ABC is doing a funny little two part movie about (orchestral swell) The Road to 9/11. In said movie there is widespread government dickstepping. Since the movie starts with the first Worth Trade Center bombing the president during the majority of this flick is William Jefferson Clinton. Therefore, people in the Clinton administration are […]
