So Kristen Stewart apparently “cheated” on Robert Pattison and people everywhere are saying she must die a slow, painful death. Come on, she’s 22 years old…is it really that likely she’ll marry the first serious boyfriend she’s ever had? Weren’t they bound to break up sooner or later and probably because of some random third…

Since Michelle Bachmann’s “Muslim Brotherhood” Probe, I Have Evidence That Congress Has Been Infiltrated By Morons
For those that aren’t familiar with what the title of this article refers to let me recap: Earlier in the week, Minnesota Congresswoman and village idiot Michelle Bachmann said that she had evidence that congress had been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood. [Perhaps she’s seen the Showtime series “Homeland” and thinks it’s real.] Then, fellow…
Petty Issues: The Emmys, Pit Bull, George Zimmerman, Arizona’s Joe Arpaio, and (Sigh) Rush Limbaugh
The Emmys announced their nominations today celebrating the best of Television, and I have to say I have no real complaints about who was chosen…Just kidding, of course I do, there were NO major nominations for Community, and the entire male cast of Parks and Recreation was passed over so Modern Family could hog up…
Petty Issues Turns Positive: Burning Love’s Greatness, Breaking Bad’s Return, and Barney Frank’s Marriage
I had an especially great weekend, and rather than the usual-usual, I decided to keep the positivity going by counting down just a few things I love this week. 5. The GOP congressmen wasted yet more time and taxpayer money by having their thirty third vote to repeal “Obamacare” and lost yet again. But the positive part…
Larger Editorial: Inside Romney’s “Condoleezza Rice as VP” SCAM, His Most Cynical Ploy Yet
Reporters everywhere were tricked today into thinking that Mitt Romney was actually considering Condoleezza Rice as his running mate. That’s right, I say “tricked” because there’s no way in hell he’ll pick “Condi” and he knows it, but he wants us to think she’s being considered. “But why?” gentle readers may ask. Well, for starters, she’s black….
Petty Issues: Cooper’s Closet, Katie’s Crocodile Tears, GlaxoSmithKline’s Greed, and Rupert’s Rants
Anderson Cooper says “I’m gay.” America says “No shit.” Am I the only person who doesn’t feel sorry for Katie Holmes? Tom Cruise didn’t “ruin” her career…her acting did that. Whatever millions she’s ever able to shake Cruise down for are more than she’d ever make trying to get “Mad Money 2” green lit. Obama’s…
Petty Issues, Healthcare Law Edition: Fox News Pulls a Fox News, Boehner Lies, and Cantor Remains Dimwitted
[The subtitle of this title could be “or, in other words, today is Thursday.” Still, there was more than enough material to devote an entire Petty Issues to the healthcare law.] John Boehner once again seemed flummoxed by the constitution as he actually uttered this quote (just imagine Tom Brokaw’s voice, and you’ve got Boehner’s…
Larger Editorial: The Supreme Court Upholds Healthcare Law, Now Can We Finally, Finally Move On?
Just a few minutes ago, the Supreme Court upheld the entirety of the Obama Health Care Law that congress already passed over two years ago. That’s right, they even upheld the dreaded individual mandate requiring people to buy health insurance (so the cost of the entire system will go down, and only affecting about 6…
Final Asia Pictures (Photos Inside with Two Video)
A collection of all the “interesting” photos that I couldn’t fit anywhere else… You might have heard Asians are bad drivers, well consider that stereotype absolute bullshit. I recorded a little chunk of time outside a typical street corner and was amazed at how pedestrians, bikes, scooters, cars, those weird vans that look like…
Hong Kong Scenery, The Buddha Statue and The Peak (Pictures AND Video Inside)
I’ll keep the description short since this is really just an excuse to show a handful of vacation pictures…I mean, uhhh…write an in-depth expose of Hong Kong’s scenic beauty. Yeah, that’s it…I’ll say that I wasn’t quite as big a fan of Hong Kong as Shanghai, but there was a lot less pollution and certainly…
Larger Editorial: Why the Chinese Government is the Shadiest in the World
I don’t agree with neo-cons about much (as is by now obvious to anyone who has ever visited the site, read an article title, or even glanced at the web address), but I do agree with them that the ruling Politburo in China aren’t very nice people. Of course, the right wing doesn’t really talk…
Shanghai Sites and Scenery (Pictures Inside)
As a follow-up to the “editorial” I posted a few weeks back about Shanghai’s singular architecture, it’s finally time I make good on a promise to post more pictures from the trip. It’s not been easy to load the pictures onto the site for some reason, but I’m truly sorry it took this long. [The…
Larger Editorial: Shanghai’s Unique Architecture (Pictures Galore Inside)
The first thing you notice about Shanghai is that it has an architectural style unlike any other city in the world. It’s as if the world’s biggest Blade Runner fan decided to plan an entire city around steampunk designs. Here are only a few examples… …
