Rush Limbaugh talks to the UK Telegraph: "I have days where I feel I've left half my brain at home and I'm not functioning 100 per cent, but I don't think the audience would ever know it, and there's never a …
I've been meaning to do another vlog about me and my Kindle. ( Here 's the original one.) The truth is, I hardly ever touch the damned thing. (But please, if you buy one, buy it through this link so I can get a percentag…
That's a quote from Joe Lieberman , from the debate in the Senate over amending the foreign surveillance laws. The administration and congressional Democrats agree on the need to update the FISA statute to reflect the realiti…
I'm not going to spend the whole day ax-grinding. Or should I? It could make an interesting theme day. Remember when people used to do Friday cat-blogging? (Or do some folks still do Friday cat-blogging) Maybe there should be…
1. Denial . What the hell? The cable cuts out now ? Now of all times?! 2. Anger . I watched 6 seasons for this? Damn you David Chase! I'm canceling my HBO! 3. Bargaining . Can we have a "Sopranos" movie now? 4. De…
What is it? It looks puffy and either delicious or deadly.... Ducks.... What did the ducks ever mean, anyway? Or what is it now.... what did the cat mean?
Says Jeanna Giese , the Wisconsin girl who survived rabies. She just went to the prom and graduated from high school. On Sept. 12, 2004, the then-15-year-old was bitten by a bat after picking it up by its wings inside St. Patrick…
Mm mm. .. Ant says: yummy . But what is it? Hints lie elsewhere in antdom. Over here: And here: The ant has his bliss, and you too have yours, smooching with your kitty cat this evening. UPDATE: Elsewhere , "I ate three lump…
Some people do! The place is also dimly lighted, which, once you examine the kitchen nook in daylight, is probably not such a bad thing. The cabinets hold nothing but a six-month supply of powdered milk for Mr. Podell’s cereal, s…
We were just talking about that Super Bowl Snickers commercial that pushed the envelope too far for contemporary Americans. It made Victoria -- our own "Cheers, Victoria" -- remember a to-do in Britain over a candy ba…
Peter Singer has a NYT op-ed about the "Ashley Treatment" (which we discussed recently here ). The idea is to restrict the girl's growth and prevent her from reaching puberty because she is, mentally, a baby and w…
Did you watch the announcement live? I did. Poor Salma Hayek was devastated that "Volver" didn't get a Best Foreign Language Film nomination. I was glad Alan Arkin got nominated, even though I didn't think much …
Everything you ever did is now tainted. "Freedom!" It has no meaning anymore. What artist has ever crashed like this? Not Michael Jackson. Not Woody Allen. Not O.J. Simpson. You've shown an evil heart and it changes…
Says Kevin Smith , to the NPR interviewer who's asking about sequels to "Clerks" where the characters keep getting older. What about a 45-year old guy manning the register at a convenience store? This is in the last…

I've already blogged about my great love for the film "Grey Gardens." Here , I respond to the charge that I've phonied up the list of favorite films in my Blogger profile as a way to make myself appear more sexu…
Now we can finally vote, and we see the females, two of whom will be eliminated this week. Mandisa sings Heart's "Never." I thought it was tasteless and ugly, but Randy and Paula rave. Simon? Oh, he's raving to…
