I’m going to be a little busy working on my massively unpopular project of making fun of movies nominated for Best Picture for the next few weeks, so here’s an old post I wrote in an abbreviated (i.e. worse) form on my personal blog a few years ago about my favorite conspiracy theorist Francis E [...]

So it’s that time of year when, in some kind of weird masochistic fit I’m not ready to explore with a professional psychologist just yet, we look over the movies all the experts agree are the best ones made over the past year. This year’s crop of picks looks especially bad and I’m dreading the [...]

So this column’s going back to the multi-topic format, and we’ve got a school-related theme this week. It’s funny how I started this thinking it would force me to write within a certain formula only to tweak it for each of the first three. 

Washington Wizards cast powerful sucking spell This past June, Washington Wizards fans had a fair amount to be excited about.

I really should be working on our annual 50 Most Loathsome Americans list (it’s pretty late, I’m aware), or preparing for court later (I was arrested for filming a cop) or at least shaving…or ironing my sport coat…or showering, but the National Review posted a hit piece on me yesterday, [...]

It asked the question “Is Anyone Willing To Defend Modern Rock?” To which I quickly blurted out, “Why the fuck would they?!”

Nearly a million Wisconsinites sign recall petition, I shake some of their hands [UPDATE 1/17/12: 1.1 million recall signatures turned in.] So Santa Claus Steve flew me out to Wisconsin. He thought I should do a little tour and pump up petitioners during the last leg of the recall effort. And who am I to [...]

There are lots of numbers associated with football games. But what do they mean? A lot was made of Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow throwing for 316 yard in last week’s footsball game against the terminally unemployed steel-workers of Pittsburgh. You see, Tebow stood out from other quarterbacks for painting Bible verses on his face, [...]

The “I Can’t Believe This is Going to Trial” Edition UPDATE, January 17th 11am: The City Hall security camera footage finally provided by the DA’s office conveniently will not play. While my lawyer and the DA talk to the company that owns the proprietary video software to figure it out, my trial has been postponed until [...]
