news round-up

Some thoughts on the more news-worthy items over the past week:
1. House votes ‘yes’ on largest tax increase in history: It was a close vote, to be sure, but Nancy Pelosi and her gang of ultra-left thugs enacted a series of strong-arm tactics (not limited to promising earmarks) and managed a 219-212 vote on the [...]

weekend movies

Disney Channel’s much-promoted Princess Protection Program, featuring its two latest stars, Wizards of Waverly Place’s Selena Gomez and Sonny With a Chance’s Demi Lovato, premiered Friday evening.
I watched it, and there wasn’t a child around. I’m not ashamed. It was really cute, really wholesome, and had a fantastic message. Selena and Demi are best friends [...]

revenge of the fallen

I wasn’t going to see Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday because a) I’ve gotten old and “late” to me is midnight these days and 2) it was in the middle of a work week and “I’m tired because I went to a midnight movie” isn’t a great excuse, especially since my [...]

(Of course, he released a [...]

In this particular installment, Laura talked to Anne Rice about the recent popularity of vampires, and whether that was a good or a bad [...]

l.a. justice

Once again, it’s been proven that if you’re famous, you’re above the law.
Despite the overwhelming proof — graphic photographs, eyewitness statements, and the fact that Rihanna was going to take the stand and tell her story — Chris Brown was allowed to plead guilty, escaping with no more than a slap on the wrist that [...]

look before you fall

I like Gossip Girl. I find it endlessly entertaining, and the crueler and more vindictive Blair Waldorf is, the more entertained I am. Of course, I’m an adult and not part of the very young, very naive, very immature demographic the show — and its network — targets.
Unlike the real, flesh-and-blood teenaged girls the show [...]

the letter

Recently, a woman sent Glenn Beck an open letter that she’d written to our nation’s leadership. I am reposting it here because she expresses everything I wish I could say to our esteemed politicians, too.
Simply put, Barack Obama is ruining our country. The liberals whine that he’s trying to clean up George Bush’s mess, but [...]

when you see my face

Perfect song, perfect video.
This has been a great song to blare the past couple days. I’m still trying to get over the urge I have to punch everyone I meet in the neck.
Frak, I miss Veronica.
