Two Faces of Death in America

Two perspectives on death in America: the funny side, and the not-at-all-funny side.

My friend Neal sent the above video to me today. It’s one of those things that is so hilarious, it’s hard to believe that no one’s thought up this exact scene for a movie or a series. A case of life being more [...]

Weird Telepathic Shit & Stuff, Pt. 2

This is not Telepathic Shit at all, but since I painted myself into a corner with the Bam Margera thing, now I’m forced to write a “Part 2″.

And although not Telepathic, it definitely is Weird… so there you go.

A few weeks ago, I did something strange. Very strange. Even for me.

10-Year Old Stands Up for Gays in USA

I can’t figure out which would be more bizarre: to live in a society where marriage is prohibited to only you and others like you, or to have a child as brilliant, mature and conscientious as this kid.

Angry Young Man

So I have this section, “Guilty Pleasures”, which I haven’t updated since the first installation, though I have many. You might think Billy Joel would be a guilty pleasure, but actually: no.

I am not ashamed of liking Billy Joel — the early Billy Joel. Though it’s hard to forgive him for songs like “We Didn’t [...]
