Talking with some friends this weekend, one of the topics of conversation was the fear/possibility that Osama could be served up on a platter sometime before election day. This would be huge for the Republicans and not so good for Obama, who has accused McCain, more than once, of not wanting to chase Bin Laden […]

The New Janelle Monae Video is Redonkulous
After singing her praises in our current issue, there wasn’t much Janelle Monae needed to do in order to capture my devotion any more than she already had. But, oh no, the sci-fi R&B superstar in the making, had to drop this insane video for “Many Moons.” The big budget video (you can thank the […]

Obama Wins Debates, Fey Back As Palin on SNL
If you’re like me, this presidential election has taken over your consciousness to the point of excluding everything else. Like your weekend! Well. It’s taken two days, but it looks like Friday night’s debate has yielded a winner. A new USA Today poll shows 46% of people thought Obama did a better job than McCain. […]

Paying Poor People For Sterilization
Ever since Portland made it illegal to sit or lie on the downtown sidewalks, I’ve been trying to find a more morally abhorrent law more obviously aimed at the poor, that stuck in my craw more. It’s been tough. But I think this morning I may have found a good contender. “How do we get […]

Obama Won It. McCain Looked Alright Though.
That’s my take on tonight’s Presidential debate. What’s yours? Major low point for McCain, on the bail-out: “This isn’t the end of the process, this is the end of the beginning.” Not to mention the multiple times he referred to Henry Kissinger as his “good friend.” Major high point for Obama on the war in […]

Sacha Baron Cohen–Er, “Bruno” Crashes Milan Runway
Showing no respect for Italy’s Fashion Week in Milan, Sacha Baron Cohen crashed the runway during Spanish designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada‘s show, in character as Bruno, the “flamboyant Austrian fashionista” you’ll recall from Da Ali G Show, presumably for use in the upcoming untitled Bruno movie, which is already generating plenty of hilarious […]

Wonder Woman’s Complicated Relationship with a Gorilla
Here is a video of Wonder Woman fighting off the advances of a horny gorilla. I am posting this because a) I’m drunk, and b) it reminds me of my first date with my ex-wife. Maybe it’s the alcohol, but Wonder Woman is super hot!

Project Runway Wrap Up!
AGHHH! I’m still recovering from the headache induced by trying to wrap my head around last night’s designer challenge: The five remaining designers all had to design getups for each other, so everyone was both designing and modeling, and the outfits had to align with a musical-genre theme, like “country” or “hiphop,” making it near-impossible […]

Get to Schleping!
Dear Barack Obama: Please fire your current campaign manager and hire comedian Sarah Silverman. As you will see from the video below, her idea for winning the vote of every elderly Jew in Florida is nothing short of brilliant. (Oh, but her language can be a bit NSFW-ish, so put on your headphones please.)Did I […]

Good Morning, News!
Congress may be getting close to coming up with a deal to figure out the big corporate bailout plan — which means McCain will have to think of some other chickenshit excuse to avoid the debates. As I mentioned yesterday… BAWK! Buck-buck-buck-buck-KAWWWW! Obama vows to turn Friday night’s debate into a townhall question and answer […]
