The war in Iraq officially ended last week in a dreary speech by President Obama, a speech that hailed the war heroes, tepidly reviewed the results of the war campaign, and ended with a somber reflection on our economy.
If the speech left a taste in your mouth, it was not one to leave you salivating for more.
How do you triumphantly speak about a war with which you disagreed?
If you can’t get enough of the Tiger Woods affair, read Elin Nordegren’s 19 hour interview with People Magazine online .
Frankly, I am surprised that she gave an interview. I thought her purported $100 million settlement would preclude her from any types of interviews since Elin had signed a pre-nup that merited less than $20 million. However, since the initial divorce settlement talk was in the neighborhood of $700 million, I guess she figured I’m Talkin‘.
This YouTube video was pointed out to me yesterday and I watched it several more times today. If you have not seen it, join the other 13 million viewers and you will not be disappointed! It’s definitely one of YouTube’s best:
Still laughing?
Zac Brown Toes Video as we get ready for Sailing Southern Ground!
I received the book The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson a few weeks ago and am about halfway through it. If you wonder, “why would I enjoy a book by a Swedish author that has a silly title?”, you’re not alone. I wondered the same thing.
There is one incontrovertible fact about Swedish people–they are all good looking (and some are now single and rich!). But do I really want to widdle away hours with a Swedish novel that contains no pictures of actual Swedish people?
In this Inception Review, I’ll tell you why you need not rush to see this movie if in fact you want to bother with it at all.
I was initially excited about Inception because I like almost all of the actors in it. I enjoy nearly all of Leonardo DiCaprio movies. We also have Joseph Gordon-Levitt of 500 Days of Summer fame, and Ellen Page, who played Juno, one of my favorite movies.
Two Canandian Teachers, who saw fit to give each other a lapdance for their schools “teacher’s performance” have now been fired after the video was widely distributed on the Internet.
I just read about this here on The Huffington Post (see below for the latest updates).
Initially, I thought, “Well, this is a shame, because they are teaching valuable skills to the future generations…especially the girls who do not pay attention in class and will need other means to make top dollar.”
As he heads into the Masters, Tiger Woods will host a News Conference at the Masters today, Monday April 5th, 2010, in which reporters will be able to ask any question they wish.
Tonight, as I was coming home from a night out, I was–for some odd reason–humming the old song from Air Supply: “I’m All Out of Love” while laughing with my girl friend (both kind of drunk) who immediately knew the song and we were wondering about what ever happened to Air Supply. We must, we thought, look for this video when we get home.
So, what did we find? Here it is:
Bill’s all out of love. Poor kid.
Ok, this video needs some evaluation, no?
If you are wondering if there is going to be a Seinfeld reunion show, there already has been. Well, sort of…
I happened upon the Seinfeld reunion show accidentally as I was watching the Season Finale of the Larry David Show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, on HBO.
If you think the life of a serial killer or author/ladies man are all peaches and cream, as you might if you are a fan of Dexter or Californication, you have not yet caught the season finales of each.
Europeans often criticize American television and film because everything has a happy ending. They would be very pleased with the finales of Dexter and Californication. I was not pleased. I was just depressed.
For those of you who do not know Plaxico Buress, he was the guy who caught the winning touchdown when the Giants beat the undefeated New England Patriots to win the Superbowl.
Now, as of today, he’s in jail.
Vinnie and the boys of Entourage are back for Season 6. The Entourage Season 6 Premiere, named Drive, has Vince literally, and figuratively, back in the driver’s seat.
After last years doldrums, with the boys hurtin’ after their movie bombed at Cannes, they are back on top as last season ended with Martin Scorsese offering Vince a lead part in his new movie.
This is good. We watch the show to live vicariously and who wants to vicariously live through pain.
Like much of America, I tune into Meet the Press on Sunday mornings.
This morning Joe Biden was the guest on Meet the Press with relatively new host David Gregory.
They talked about a myriad of topics but I had trouble listening…because Joe Biden kept commanding me to “Look!”.
Manny Pacquiao, of the Philippines, and Ricky Hatton from Manchester, England, meet tonight in what my be the best boxing match of the year. If you have never been a boxing fan or have left the sport out of frustration, tonight’s Junior welterweight title match is a reason to enjoy the “sweet science” once again.
Boxing has fallen out of favor in recent years for many good reasons: There are too many shady promoters (can we say Don King?), too many weight classes, too many weight divisions, too many “manufactured” stars, and too little of what boxing fans need: Great fights between great fighters.
