Hey MSNBC

Hey MSNBC

Do you have any other footage of Karl Rove besides him checking his Blackberry on the tarmac next to a plane? I’ve been watching MSNBC obsessively for the last year and noticed this probably around that time. The next time you see Keith Olbermann cover Rove, note that they run the footage of him checking [...]


“Cooool, that’s great, Rutger, just stand-up a little straighter and look a little cooler, and I think we’re there.”

"Cooool, that's great, Rutger, just stand-up a little straighter and look a little cooler, and I think we're there."

Hot or Not? JoBros Edition

Hot or Not? JoBros Edition

OK, let’s get this out of the way first: If you are over the age of 18 your mouse shouldn’t be hovering anywhere near the “hot” button, so please don’t be a perv. Not. Not. Not.
But let’s break it down.
Lefty: looks like a not-charmingly-awkward version of actor (and Michael Cera prototype) Jesse Eisenberg.
Middle: Most promising. [...]


Flu Needs New Marketing

Flu Needs New Marketing

Flu is unpleasant for sure, and yes it sometimes kills people. But I think one of the biggest problems concerning the flu is the inappropriate response to it. People seem to go one of two ways on this. They either freak out, buy duct tape and stay inside the house for a week, or they [...]


Good Morning.

What’s the over/under

What's the over/under

For when the Right-Wing (led by your buddy and mine, Rush) actually come out and say that putting up a big wall between the US and Mexico is the only thing that could have prevented the spread of swine flu?
I’m just curious. You know it’s gonna happen. He’s writing the tirade right now.


So here’s the Rail Club story.

So here's the Rail Club story.

So as many of you may know, I came away from my weeklong trip to Chicago with a pretty funny getting-picked-up-at-a-bar story. 
So Justin and I did Talkin’ Funny, with bad-sport Steve Gadlin and were looking for somewhere to watch the end of the Bulls game. For me, this is a combo of two things that [...]


The New Future of the GOP, Issue 3

The New Future of the GOP, Issue 3

Meghan McCain. Ok this one is no bit. If I had coordinated with Stephen, this could have been a double feature of New Future of the GOP and Hot or Not. She’s got a more relaxed outlook than most of her old-schooler compatriots in the GOP, and sans nasty disposition.


2-Second Movie Review: Taken

2-Second Movie Review: Taken

Movie: Taken
Starring: Liam Neeson, Guy from Alien Resurrection, Others
If you like Liam Neeson and movies where the main character kicks some serious ass, then Taken is just for you. It stars Liam Neeson as a guy who kicks a ton of ass after his daughter is abducted in Paris — he’s a former special [...]


Does anyone call anyone “Hoss” anymore?

Does anyone call anyone "Hoss" anymore?

Is it just me, or has “hoss” been lost to the ages? Remember when that was the stereotype for a cowboy?
I miss “hoss”. Is it derogatory in any way? Is there a reason it fell off the face of the earth? Is it like the n-word? Where only cowboys can call [...]


Good Morning.

Good Morning.

I can solve this Swine Flu pretty easily…

I can solve this Swine Flu pretty easily...

I saw Outbreak. Pretty good movie with a pretty hot Rene Russo. If the CDC and the WHO paid any attention to Hollywood – you would find that this is waaaaay easier than everyone is making it out to be.
Allow me to explain.


Hot or Not? (Lingerie Football Edition)

Hot or Not? (Lingerie Football Edition)

I guess I’m REALLY behind the times. Looks like there’s another sport in town, and it ain’t your father’s football.
Unless your dad subscribed to Playboy or Hustler, then, I guess this is EXACTLY his kind of football.
Anywhoo. Here we are. 2009, and we now, officially, have women throwing [...]


Hey Everyone – Don’t Forget it’s Baseball Season!

Sheesh. You’d think it’s the end of the world with all the bad news coming out of boob-tube! You probably forgot your favorite teams have just started the never-ending race towards the pennant. (in like another 5 months)
Sit back, and let Adam remind you of a warm summer afternoon, some 80s baseball players [...]


Ok – Can anyone tell me…

Ok - Can anyone tell me...

What was Air Force 2 doing flying around the Statue of Liberty? I’ve been traveling, and all I’ve got are headlines and pictures of people running in the streets because Air Force 2, along with a couple F-16s, were flying around Ground Zero and the Statue of Liberty.
It seems to me that no one [...]


Hey Sandy, here’s what you’re having.

Hey Sandy, here's what you're having.

Memo to Runners:

Memo to Runners:

I don’t care.
Let me be more specific. I am talking directly to my co-workers. Hey – I’m all excited for you. I think it’s wonderful that you have taken it upon yourselves to run mass distances and try to beat imaginary times. I have respect for people that train for hours [...]


Swine Flu Update: Day 2.

Swine Flu Update: Day 2.

Ok. Day 2 from when I started paying attention to it. So far, I have cut out all pork products from my diet. And I’ve stopped interacting with people who handle swine for a living.
I also wash my hands after touching the keyboard on my computer, and I watch House on USA. [...]


Good Morning.

Good Morning.

Talkin’ Funny: Justin & Adam Co-host!

The hot cable access talk show “Talkin’ Funny” needed a fill-in host last week. So Adam and I went down and screwed up the show. It airs Mondays at 7:30pm. Check it out tonight on 21.


Hot or Not? (Geeks Rock Edition)

Hot or Not? (Geeks Rock Edition)

**Updated with Poll**Anyone else out there watch MythBusters? I do. Pretty religiously. They cover just about anything, including some of the best Indiana Jones myths. They blow shit up real good, and have fun, sense of humor and get paid doing this.
From the first day Kari got on the scene, [...]


Your Monday Afternoon Awesome.


Give “9 to 5″ another shot

Give "9 to 5" another shot

When was the last time you saw this movie? I can bet… 10+ years. This is that movie that everyone has seen, and everyone has seen at least a decade ago.
Put it in your Netflix cue as soon as you can. Why? Several reasons:

Dabney Coleman
The plight of the American [...]


Well thank God for the “swine flu”

Well thank God for the "swine flu"

Finally something a little light-hearted to take our minds off of the troubling economy and “OtocMom”. Is it just me, or is this the closest thing to an epidmic we’ve seen since the Bird Flu. Or the Mad Cow Disease? I woke up Saturday morning, all ready to eat some bacon, and [...]
