Common Sense

I’ve got some good news and some bad news.
The good news is that after much lobbying, cajoling, pleading and selling… I’ve finally gotten a blog from the Trib. In the next week, I’ll be starting it up, moving my Movie Blog archives over to it and writing my own little niche film blog where I […]

Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize. I probably should have mentioned that before Tila Tequila.
John Dickerson wonders if this will make him rethink running for the White House. He hasn’t said definitively “no way,” but I don’t think he really wants to. It was such a harsh experience last time around, I can’t imagine […]

Slate seems to be taking the approach that sex sells because they have several stories today about sex.
Probably the creepiest is William Saletan discussing lowering the age of consent. He breaks consent down between three distinct areas: biological readiness which is around 12, age of cognitive readiness which is around 16 and age of emotional […]

Apparently, the chick from High School Musical (hold on, let me look up her name) Vanessa Hudgens has some totally, not anywhere near safe for work, full-frontal nudity pictures floating around on the Internet.
I agree with the dude from The Superficial, her rep is an idiot for even confirming that it really is her. In […]

Then you may have noticed I used old school Frylock for my Drive-Thru review as my rating standard. Originally, the Aqua Teens were corporate mascots that had taken over the show on the old Space Ghost: Coast to Coast show (Episode Baffler Meal). I don’t think there was even a Meatwad at the time.
Anyway, anyone […]

You know things are getting dirty in presidential politics when the unofficial Sam Brownback Myspace site is asking you to join the “Ron Paul Supporters Suck” group.
Should I join the group. I mean, as far as viability goes, Ron Paul has more money in the bank than John McCain.
But I still think Paul is […]

At least that’s what she told Larry King on last night’s live interview.
HILTON: I have been on medication since I was a child. I have ADD. So I take medication for that.
KING: That’s the only thing you deal with, attention deficit Disorder?
HILTON: Yes.
KING: Have you ever been addicted to […]

NBC has canceled its post-jail interview with Paris Hilton.
NBC has canceled their $1 million interview with Paris Hilton, most likely from the pressure of the entire world calling them ass clowns. No official reason was given, but NBC is backtracking and saying they never sealed the deal on the interview to begin with, so there […]

Apparently, people who want to vacation in the Western Hemisphere have found a backlog of passports being issued and vacations have been ruined.
The demand soared at the beginning of the year, as travelers sought to comply with a new rule requiring passports for all U.S. citizens flying within the Western Hemisphere.
And that demand has created […]

Paris Hilton has been ordered back to jail! A judge actually ordered her to go back to the place she checked out of after 5 days to serve her original term of 45 days, minus the 5 she’s already done.
Just look at that picture. I just want to lick her tears. I bet they taste […]
