Debate Like There’s No Tomorrow

There was yet another democratic debate tonight. Reactions have been mixed. Obama won some points. Hillary won some other points. Hillary blasted Obama for plagiarism and then stole lines from both Edwards and Bill Clinton in 92. At least that is what I read. I didn’t get a chance to see the debate because I [...]

Where to Vacation When You’re Doing Oscar the Grouch

I’ve been feeling a little stir crazy, stuffed in a place my office refers to as the “intern pen” and being bombarded with other young journalists’ groundbreaking ideas and analysis (plus their life problems) for hours on end. I need a serious vacation. A nice island vacay was due.
Being that Maui is totally pedestrian, I [...]

Beyonce can’t act.

I’m sorry. I’m saying it. Is there anyone who thinks she was good in Dreamgirls and really nailed the Diana Ross impression? I raise it because she’s been cast in a new film playing Etta James. There should be a film about Etta James, who is amazing, but does she have to be played by [...]

I don’t know what they’re saying …

… but I’m sure I agree with them.

 
 

McCaingerous totally got some.

OMG John McCain totally banged a lobbyist. A New York Times investigation (just posted a little while ago) alleges that McCain’s aides were so concerned about his relationship with a lobbyist that they “instructed staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warned her away and repeatedly confronted him.” McCaingerous, of course, cheated on his [...]

Pinko Plagiarama!

With all the He said/She said Plagiarism allegations going around the interweb, we thought we would offer our own take and, thanks to social video editing site Kaltura, let you have a stab at it as well.

Enjoy.

It’s the sweater, stupid.

Clinton campaign spokesperson Howard Wolfson tried to distract America from his candidate’s two extremely lopsided losses last night by going on tv in the most god-awful ugly sweater in the history of America. Fuck you, Wisconsin, this sweater is for you.

Hillary to Voters: Go Fuck Yourselves! Just Kidding!

From Politico:
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign intends to go after delegates whom Barack Obama has already won in the caucuses and primaries if she needs them to win the nomination.
This strategy was confirmed to me by a high-ranking Clinton official on Monday. And I am not talking about superdelegates, those 795 party big shots who are [...]

girls just wanna have fun

a friend, who can only be described as part yogi - part firecracker, introduced me to a hot new trend: dance dance party party, a series of ladies-only dance parties now in 12 cities (and New Zealand!). Dance Dance Party Party is 1.5 hours of the most fantastic f-u-n a girl can have! “it’s like [...]

What the kids are listening to.

I work next door to the Irving Plaza, one of the largest concert venues in New York. Snaking around several city blocks today is the longest line I’ve ever seen for a concert there, so it must, I thought, absolutely must be some band I’d heard of. I’m not so old that I wouldn’t have [...]
