I’m not sure where to start on this one. Normally, I can delve into the theme, character, arcs, and symbolism–blah, blah, blah.
This has been called the most important anti-war book ever written. It was also written by an admitted Socialist (back in the 1930s when Socialism was socially fashionable).
I’m not going [...]

I love my job because I sometimes get access to some pretty sweet people–Tim Russert is one of them. He’s great.

A few prominent Republicans (Arlen Specter, inventor of the Magic Bullet Killed JFK theory, among them) broke ranks and lobbied for this bill.

But when it comes to Ken Lay, Jeffrey Skilling, Andy Faustau, and whoever else was at the helm while Enron deliberately [...]

That bastard has sucked another ten bucks out of me.
Mark my words, people–he’s going for another twenty before the year runs out.
Ricky Gervais is one of the funniest men on this planet right now and he doesn’t even try. You can say that Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle are funny–but they have [...]

I’m going to have to watch this one again because there was some seriously weird shit going on. I don’t know if I would call this a “dream” episode because Tony is fighting for his life and “living” a false identity.
It’s very interesting that when he starts off the episode, he is in a [...]

Bob was an alcoholic. When they found him, his feet had turned black. He died alone with only the dignity that he wasn’t struggling to reach the phone or knocking things over to get someone’s attention to help him. Instead, he stripped naked, poured himself one last drink, fell asleep and never [...]

Scientists in the Sandia National Laboratories have creacked some kind of freak code of nature by creating a temperature hotter than the sun, 2 billion degrees kelvin (the sun is only 2 million). This is the hottest temperature ever recorded by the human species. To give you a frame of reference, thermonuclear explosions [...]
