Didn’t his dancing make her suspicious?

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

The author of How Stella Got Her Groove Back has filed for divorce after her younger island-boy husband came out of the closet. That in itself is barely even interesting, but conservative journalist Steve Sailer adds some amusing context. Love’s a beeatch.

Groteskt slöseri (2)

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

Johnny Munkhammar noterar att någon värdelös svensk byråkrati på det likaledes värdelösa EUs vägnar skottar ut miljoner på värdelösa projekt runt om i riket. Fosterlandet reducerat till en patetisk bidragstagare. Utan att ens behöva det. Tragiskt. Jämför med Indien som ratade katstrofbistånd efter tsunamin. Det är nationell stolthet och nationellt ansvarstagande.

Bob Kraft wuz robbed

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

The Big Moscow Super Bowl Ring Heist reminds us of two things: Bob Kraft is a great businessman* and Vladimir Putin is a…well, we all know what he is, and as long as there are people like him we shall have no choice but to aim thousands of nuclear warheads at that place, just in [...]

Is anybody interested in putting the R back in theater?

Tuesday, June 28th, 2005

The only R-rated movie at AMC’s Fenway 13 last weekend was Land of the Dead, George A. Romero’s latest and second to worst zombie flick. That’s pretty miserable. I understand that G, PG, and PG-13 movies are more profitable, but surely it’s still possible to rake in good money with good R-movies: A little nekkid [...]

Hi, I’m George A. Romero and I have a very important message.

Sunday, June 26th, 2005

What if zombies really aren’t such terrible flesh-eating creatures as they seem to be? What if they are just like you and me, merely looking for somwehere to go (allow me to insert my favorite Old Country sarcasm: Vi har ingen lokal)? If that’s so, then I guess they aren’t slaughtering humans because they…need…brains…but because [...]

The Boston Globe’s silent Supreme Court majority

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

The Boston Globe rightly disagrees with the United States Supreme Court’s bizarre ruling in Kelo vs. New London, but can’t bring itself to mention or even hint at who made up the majority: The Court’s liberals and moderates (minus Sandra Day O’Connor, who surprisingly sided with the Constitution-reading faction of the Court).

Ready for some smoogedoo?

Friday, June 24th, 2005

If you see a bunch blond people hopping around in a circle this weekend, don’t be alarmed. It’s a tribe, not a cult. We come in peace. Actually, we come to bring you Cotton Eye Joe, but other than that, we come in peace. So… Spola kröken. Slida kniven. Ta på flytvästen. Använd kondom.

The Radio Equalizer takes a look at Arbitron numbers for WLIB and WABC

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

“Is the recent talk radio listenership dropoff continuing?” aks The Radio Equalizer and looks at the early Spring 2005 Arbitron numbers for WLIB and WABC. He also notices a union sponsored bail out of a Liberal station in Alaska – and gets a nonsensical comment from the president of Chinook Concert Broadcasters. Read it all [...]

Mitt Romney kills his presidential dreams

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

I like Mitt Romney, but his health care proposal, as outlined by himself in an op-ed in today’s Boston Herald, is garbage built on the transparent lie that it will pay for itself. What a joke. The plan, if enacted, will become an enormously expensive and politically untouchable boondoggle that won’t even do much, if [...]

The New Kenmore Square is better than the old

Monday, June 20th, 2005

I see that all the upbeat buzz about the New And Fabulously Improved Kenmore Square has created some ill will among Fenway/Kenmore bloggers. Allow me to break a lance for the New Square. It’s not that I’m rah-rah about the New Kenmore Square, but I think us Kenmorians have to take one for the team [...]
