Stacey Dash tweeted support for Romney this week and unleashed a barrage of hell, most of it directed at her race and her past marriages to white men. Look, that’s disgusting. Do I agree with her? No, but to say someone can’t vote or support whoever they want to? That’s no better. Plus, I really…

Petty Issues: Debate Round-Up
Last night was the first of three loooooong in the making presidential debates (this Obama vs. Romney matchup has really been in the works since 2006, John McCain just didn’t know it), and I’ll summarize Romney’s responses for those that missed them. Romney: “The president sucks, and I’ll be better, don’t ask me how, you’ll…
Petty Issues: Quick Hits on Romney, Ann Romney, Todd Akin, and Mugabe
“Mitt Romney sure looks comfortable with a crowd and natural on the campaign trail.”—–No one, ever Watching Mitt Romney get grilled for specifics about his tax plan on 60 Minutes and still not give them was a little like watching a murder suspect sweat in a police interrogation room. At one point, I half expected him to…
Mitt Romney vs. well, Pretty Much Everyone (Independents, Poor People, Mexicans, Letterman, and His Wife)
A by-now infamous video surfaced on Mother Jones that shows Mitt Romney disparaging, well, pretty much everyone… 5. Mitt vs. Mexicans…In the video, he acknowledges the fact that his father was born in Mexico (though leaves out that it was because his grandfather was a fugitive who wanted to practice polygamy), and then says that…
Petty Issues: A Rogue’s Gallery of the Usual Assholes, Ryan, Romney, Chris Brown, and a Couple Kardashians
Ordinarily, there’s just one asshole of the week, but this has been an exceptionally busy week… Asshole of the Week 4th Runner-Up: “The Juice” O.J. Simpson. Earlier this week it was reported that O.J. Simpson believes Khloe Kardashian is his biological daughter (her mother, Mama Kardashian, had an affair with O.J. when her husband Robert…
Petty Issues: RNC Edition
I just don’t think Mitt Romney wore enough makeup during his convention speech…I couldn’t tell if it was him or a ventriloquist dummy version of Donny Osmond. While at the convention, Mitt officially accepted the nomination to be the party’s candidate. Or, as Ron Paul supporters call it, “A minor setback for us.” Mia Love…
Petty Issues: Norway’s Shooter, New York’s Shooter, Rihanna’s Abuser…Damn, A Depressing Week
An armed gunman just shot his boss at the Empire State building, and wounded several people in a shootout with cops as he attempted to flee…Uhhh, not really sure how to make a joke about this…Ummmm, man, how about this weather huh? Hot outside today… Rihanna said that Chris Brown is “the love of her…
Petty Issues: Interconnected “Scandals” Day With Joe Biden, Jamie Dimon, “K-Stew,” and Kelsey Grammar
Not many new juicy scandals this week, so of course the entertainment media is still beating the dead horse that is “K-Stew” “cheating” on “R-Patz” (I put it in quotation marks because who really knows how authentic a Hollywood relationship is?). It’s so bad that Kristen has even been fired from the Snow White and…
Petty Issues: Lolo Cries, Romney Lies, Someone On Dallas Dies, Adelson Files, and [Finish Rhyme]
Lolo Jones was criticized in the New York Times for having more sex appeal than athletic ability. Uhhh…and? What the hell have Leryn Franco or Anna Kournikova ever won? Olympic athletes are as much a commodity as they are competitors…same as pretty much every sport on the planet. This is shocking to someone? Yes, Lolo…
Petty Issues: Kristen Stewart, Colorado Shooter, and My OWN Advertisers
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…
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…
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…
