Is Harvey Weinstein the Iceberg…or Just the Tip?

In the past week, we've seen a very carefully orchestrated and targeted media campaign to officially sink the often-accused and decades-long-known serial Hollywood Creep, Harvey Weinstein. There isn't much to explain that articles from The New Yorker, New York Times, etc haven't already covered; but these allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior (to say the least) have been…

Aww Skeet Skeet, Mr. President

In response to an interview that Barack Obama did for New Republic magazine in which he stated that he "always" goes skeet shooting at Camp David, an onslaught of Republicans cried "bullshit". This became the hot-button issue for a whole goddamn day. Nothing else seemed to matter.Has anyone seen the president shoot a gun? Pics…

Rush Limbaugh is a piece of shit. We all know this. Having said that, he has his right to his opinion. I’m torn over the principle of pushing him to apologize for the remark. If Limbaugh had to apologize to everyone he ever wronged, humiliated, or flat-out offended, there would be a single-file line wrapped around the globe. The purpose of his apology was meant not to reach out with sincerity to “slutty prostitute” activist, Sandra Fluke, but to ease the tension and get himself out of the steel shithouse that he built. When advertisers and sponsors began pulling their support for his show, it was either nut up or shut up—forever. Though many of us would prefer Limbaugh just fade away into the good night, he is an entertainer who plans on existing for quite some time—or at least until Obama’s Secret Military wipes him out like they did to Andrew Breitbart. —AG

Rush Limbaugh Apologizes to Sandra Fluke

Lex Parsimoniae

Every generation realizes a new and compelling explanation for the easily explicable. For our parents, it was the assassination of John F. Kennedy, a bright, young, ailing superstar president caught between two worlds. For us, the tragedy of September 11th and the struggle with the notion that perhaps the simplest explanation wasn't the most plausible.…

Donald Trump: Genius or Chump?

Trump has been a media icon for decades. And while I have to give him props for graduating from the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania, and for having the wherewithal to effectively turn the company his father worked tirelessly to create into his own person piggy bank, I somehow doubt his honesty and credibility.…

Terrorism Rules

So I'd like to start out by saying that I think terrorism is pretty cool.  Just the idea of blowing something up that you don't like is pretty ballsy and I secretly admire it.  As a matter of fact, I feel like the only reason that we hate terrorism so much is simple--we're on the…

Joe’s Sloppy 2009: Year in Review

I know this is long overdue but it's one of those things that you have to do. Like talk to relatives! 2009 has not been the best year for me. In fact, it was quite possibly the worst. Started out with my grandfather passing away (his funeral being the day right before my birthday), my…

What Do You Know About Slavery?

Race has certainly become a hot-button issue once again. Along with stereotypes and common prejudices, there are many ways by which people of various races and creeds can be misunderstood and misconstrued. It is important to learn the facts about a background in order to better understand a people; however, history--like individuals--can often be severely…

The Health Care Debate, as I Understand it

In layman's terms, the phrase "layman's terms" refers to an explanation given so that the average Joe can understand it. It is an idea explained (perhaps by an expert) in a manner that a layperson, or non-expert, can easily grasp. But seeing as how many of America's laypersons are out of work and uninsured, I…

An Open Letter to President Barack Obama

Dear Mr. President, You probably don't know me. I tried to attend one of your big speeches on your Philadelphia tour. I couldn't get anywhere near you (or a speaker for that matter) and it took me about an hour to realize that the "line to get in" wasn't moving. I know you're a busy…

Re5: A Wonderfully Un-Racist Romp Through Scarytown, Africa

The Resident Evil series has always served to baffle, befiddle and befaddle me; certainly not as much as the Metal Gear series, but enough to cause concern for the future. I don't think I've ever successfully completed a Resident Evil game in the entire series. At the risk of being "gamer'd" to death, the excuse…

An Open Letter to a Celebrity-Obsessed America

My Dear Celebrity-Obsessed Americans-- Though the whole world (especially the Western One) is crippled by their unhealthy appetite for tabloids and gossip entertainment that belittle and viciously attack the personal lives of those who they all wish that they could be, I can only speak on behalf of like-minded people within my own country (plus,…
