George Bush Returns to “Likeability” In Interview With Larry King

george-bush-larry-king-interviewAfter Al Gore lost the election to George Bush, his demeanor changed as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.  He became much more electable after he lost the election.
The same can be said of John McCain in his loss to Barack Obama.  For some reason, he lost his true self during the presidential race and then found himself again after it was over.  Had the real John McCain run against Barack Obama, he might have faired a little better.

I think of these character changes as I just watched a full Larry King interview with George and Laura Bush.

Two Movie Recommendations: Tape/Lucía y el sexo

Sometimes you should listen to your movie store guy.

I know…many of you go to blockbuster and your movie store guy is a tweaked out teenager who would rather be skateboarding.  Others of you never see your movie store guy because he is now a computer screen that reads Netflix.

British Couple Has Sex in Dubai; Wait, No They Don’t

british-couple-sex-dubaiA British couple was just arrested for having sex on a beach in Dubai.

This news comes as a surprise to many.  Of course, the surprise comes not from the fact that they were arrested — Dubai, though a modern country, is a predominantly Muslim country and frowns on public acts of indecency.

No, the surprise to many is that a British couple was having sex.

Californication Season II Premiere: The Return of Hank Moody

californication season ii premiere reviewAll television shows make you some sort of promise.

With the first season of Californication, Showtime promised us a show about a struggling writer who beds many women and generally leads an intemperate life all in an effort to escape his true heart, which is with Karen, the mother of his daughter.

As I wrote in Californication: Showtime’s Raison d’etre, this was one hell of a first season, and the only reason that you need to get a subscription to Showtime.

Politicians Who Say “Look” All The Time [drive me crazy!]

mcain obama overuse of the word lookPoliticians who say the word “look” all the time are driving me absolutely insane!

Dave Matthews and Friends: Let’s Cruise Again

When I heard the news a few weeks ago about the untimely death of LeRoi Moore, it shocked and saddened me.  LeRoi is a founding member of The Dave Matthews Band.  I did not know him personally but, personally, he has given me so much joy.

Really, what more can one accomplish in life?  LeRoi and the DMB Band have given this joy to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people.  It is fair to say that the people in the picture above, all enjoying the Dave Matthews and Friends cruise, would never have had that moment were not for LeRoi Moore, founding member of the Dave Matthews band.Read More

Tom Cruise, Scientology, and South Park

I try to edify myself in every possible way.  Today’s efforts include watching “30 Celebrity Feuds” on E.

The Feud I just watched involved the Tom Cruise “Trapped In The Closet” episode of South Park (watch below).  The episode pokes fun at Scientology, Scientologists, and Tom Cruise’s gaiety.  Tom Cruise apparently threatened Paramount pictures, who own South Park, saying that he would not promote the new Mission Impossible movie if Paramount allowed re-runs of this South Park episode.
