Seems like a case of the pot calling the wash basin black.

Big Hollywood : Crystal Eager to Pound GOP 'Idiots' on Oscar Night

Pretty much figured I'd check YouTube a couple days after to see the intro and any highlights. Not sure I'll even do that now.

Would like to win this for my daughter who I'm sure would love it.

Big Government : 'Protester' Named Time Magazine 'Person of the Year'

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 15:48:40 +0000

It's amazing to see what the Tea Party protests of 2009/2010 sparked off! Who would have thought that such a humble group of freedom loving citizens would inspire the world?

Can we get a list of all the OccCom participants so we know who's stuff not to buy?

Big Hollywood : BREAKING: American Airlines Releases Statement: Alec Baldwin Rude to Crew, Used 'Offensive Language'

Wed, 7 Dec 2011 16:06:14 +0000

The way this story was reported on the Today Show it appeared to be an advert for the game Baldwin was playing on his offending device and made me think it was all a publicity stunt to advertise the game and turn it into another Angry Birds. Someone should look into any connections between the game makers, Baldwin, NBC, and the Today Show reporter because it was either really poor reporting or really good pr.

Big Hollywood : Madonna Comes Full Circle with Super Bowl Gig

Mon, 5 Dec 2011 18:53:12 +0000

I liked Madonna better when she went by her given name, Sméagol. (Shamelessly stolen from a very funny guy in my Twitter feed, but I couldn't resist.)

Big Government : Occupy Protests Continue to Use Human Shields

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 22:06:37 +0000

Why haven't I seen anyone talk about their use of books as shields (or more as props) to allow them to cry fowl when their "People's Library" gets confiscated and damaged. If they cared anything about books they would house them properly. Instead they call for "book donations" (code for "all your junk books you don't want") pile them up in boxes like so much trash on the street and then cry "police state" when they get cleared out. And all kinds of people are chiming in about the sancrosanct nature of the "People's Library" which was no more than a pile of used books nobody wanted the likes of which you can find every weekend occupying people's yard sales.

I've got to go with the Persian Cat answer although all the students should get an E for Effort.

I am more than secure in my masculinity to read this or any other purported 'chick-lit' book. I'm so secure I can even read 'romance novels' and 'bodice rippers'. And what makes me more than secure? I read them on my wife's Kindle and I just tell her I don't know how those books got on there.

Big Hollywood : 'I'm Still Here' Review: Brilliant Parody or Self-Referential Junk?

It vexes me. I'm terribly vexed.

Big Hollywood : Wonder Woman Reboot: Strident Feminism Is the Problem, Not the Costume

Fri, 2 Jul 2010 14:59:52 +0000

I never quite got the idea behind Wonder Woman. I think a good reboot would be to have her look like Pat from SNL, she would be a hero who got her name because you always kinda had to wonder if that was a woman or a dude.

Big Hollywood : We're All Racists Now!: Behar, Garofalo & Ron Reagan Attack Obama

Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:33:23 +0000

I'm guessing there is a lot of retooling work going on at the Racist-Code-Word Decoder Ring factory!

If it were a novel about a floating baby then I'd go with #3, but since it is a compilation of humorous pieces (right?) I'm going to have to say #4. It puts it right out there that it is going to be funny and it grabs your attention with the type and the cartoon. If this book is going to go into stores you don't have time for subtle. Save subtle for something else, like something where subtle would be useful. Can't think of what that would be, but you know what I mean. UPDATE: Mixed up the headings. I think they were too subtle. So, yeah, #3! Light saber through the head for the win!

Big Hollywood : RED COUNTY: Time for a Conservative Revival of the 80's Punk Band 'Dead Kennedys'

Fri, 28 May 2010 19:17:10 +0000

I still love a good punk rock song - especially my own www.musicalfamilytree.com/band/musical_suicide - but my biggest gripe with most punks is they started out punk and ended up hippies because they didn't realize punk wasn't a lifestyle or even a social movement.

Big Hollywood : James Cameron: 'Like the Redneck NRA Supporters They Are'

And coming in with a strong second place finish would be "right-wing gun-nuts who like cops".

I'm down with the ostrich meat idea, but I'm gonna need some cheese and I'm pretty sure you can't milk an ostrich. How much methane do goats produce?
