Someone I know and love just started blogging! Go check out J–‘s very first foray into the blogging world at Cheap Wine Blog. If you like wine but hate the attitude you have to endure to get a great glass, then CWB is for you. Looking at wines from $5-20, CWB is going to be […]
Kotaku posted an interesting chart today: LFM… Full size image
Please, don’t let this be the opening salvo in a barrage of B-list actors trying to make it huge ala Brokeback Mountain.Liberace? Seriously? Of all the worthy people you could make a movie that about; they could have picked Matthew Shepard, Ian McKellen, or anyone who published a gay magazine prior to 1970 come to […]
…in no particular order. “The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.”-George Bernard Shaw Only two things are certain: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.-Albert Einstein “You can sugar-coat a poison pill, but it’ll still kill you. By the way, let […]
5. Neil Young. Not for his latest album (which actually sounded good until he started singing), but because he’s Neil Bloody Young. Seriously, could anyone be more overrated? (save the flames; you’re not going to change my mind.) 4. Uber-Web-Design Guy. You know what, this site doesn’t validate. Neither does the web app I work […]

Zidane was kind enough to let FIFA save face by agreeing to do 3 days of community service instead of, you know, laughing his ass off. For his part, Italian player Materazzi was given a 2-game suspension, which seems reasonable. I would’ve […]
MITCH ALBOM: With on-field insults, it’s all in the head Mitch manages to string together a fairly coherent column today about the Zidane head-butt. We’ll give him a break over the lateness of the column because he’s a) an American sportswriter b) in Detroit and c) is Mitch Albom. But, he did catch the most […]
Check out that graph. There is no epidemic of youth violence in America. The whole concept is a lie… Kids are not killing each other more frequently than they used to. In fact, it turns out the opposite is true. (link) Where’s the Senate panel to look into the fleecing we’ve been taking for the […]
Well, that’s an interesting turn. Comments are running pretty heavily that FIFA will not, in fact, take away the Cup. I’m pretty sure a war would break out if they did. However, it is interesting that an amendment to the rules was made that allows FIFA to take away 6 points (essentially causing the team […]
