Obligatory Cute Kid Photo -
David Letterman blackmail-adultery scandal - While everyone debates Letterman's future after going public with an affair to avoid a blackmail scheme, my blogging hero Gregg Easterbrook asks a more serious question: 'What on Earth happened to the art of extortion'? It used to be when guys named 'Lefty' blackmailed you it was pay up or else have your kneecaps broken. Nowadays guys named 'Lefty' want a publishing and development deal or else....or else what?
Pittsburgh hosts the G20 summit - The question on everyone's minds was why Pittsburgh? My theory was that the Obama Admin. wanted to show the rest of the World the severity of the global recession. So he wanted to find a place so bleak, depressing, and devoid of all hope as to demonstrate the urgency for finding a solution. So hence you have Pittsburgh, or as actress Sienna Miller calls it 'Sh**sburgh'.
One way to court the female vote - We all have some embarrassing past photos we wish to burn but for Scott Brown, the Republican candidate for US Senate from Massachusetts, it may prove a little more difficult. Recently surfaced was the 1982 issue of Cosmopolitan where he posed nude in the centerfold wearing a smile and nothing else. Political pundits from both sides definitely agree Brown was sporting his own 'stimulus package' during that now infamous photoshoot.
Please E! Network not another Kardashian show - I will accept one Kardashian show under protest (the one with the fat ass and a sex tape), however I must vehemently object to any spin-off series involving any other member of that family (the one with the dead behind the eyes look).
NFL prevents Delaware from legalizing football betting - Can someone tell me why betting on sports is illegal, but investing in Wall Street which essentially is betting on companies is legit?
Not exactly the 'A-Team' - Evidence for a drug and weapons trafficking case in Florida may get dismissed after a surveillance video appeared of a Tampa SWAT team playing 'Guitar Hero' on a suspect's Wii playstation and watching the suspect's porn collection after raiding a house with enough guns to supply a small Latin American army.
People who are nuts: entertaining when at parties, disconcerting when World leaders - Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi whose wardrobe choice makes it looks like he raided Elton John's closet gave a 90 minute, rambling, mostly incoherent speech at the General Assembly of the United Nations. Normally that type of behavior in New York City would earn an all expenses paid trip to the Psychiatric ward of Bellevue Hospital.
Jon Gosselin wants a '9 to 5' job - Hey Jon, please feel free to get one so the rest of us spared every painful, tiny, microscopic detail of your divorce to the lead singer of Flock of Seagulls..urr...Kate Gosselin. Because we just love watching two grown-ups settle their problems using the tabloid media like mature adults.
Not sure if the Duggars have heard of overpopulation as a global problem - Michelle Duggar of 18 Kids and Counting is due to give birth with her 19th child, or 20th, or whatever. From Huffington Post: "Will someone tell her that a vagina should not double as a clown car".
Television as an artform may never be the same - Sadly, the reality series Megan Wants a Millionaire about a shallow gold-digger's quest to marry a millionaire out of 12 presumably douchy contestants came to an abrupt ending. In turns out one of the finalists had a slight legal problem....in the form of being arrested for killing his wife. Not sure why that would be a problem.
Why the Cincinnati Bengals usually don't win - Bengals' third string quarterback and professional bench warmer Jordan Palmer along with some other teammates started a iPhone app called 'runpee' at www.runpee.com that provides the exact time to run to bathroom during movies and still not miss anything relevant. I'm sure Bengal fans are so appreciative for all the dedication to this effort as opposed to say learning a playbook or practicing on not sucking. Coincidentally for Bengals games the best time to pee is when Jordan Palmer is in the game because nothing good will happen.
Perhaps the Chinese version is better - The movie Boogie Nights about a 70's porn star which gave Mark Wahlberg acting cred along with making his appendage a 'star' is set to be released on DVD in China. The actual translation for the movie in Chinese: "His Great Device Makes Him Famous".
Great Moments in Unintended Hilarity - The Wisconsin Tourism Federation was forced to change its logo after adopting 'WTF' as it's acronym on all press releases and brochures. For the texting/IM/e-mail impaired 'WTF' is abbreviation for 'What the F***'? which is probably what officials at WTF headquarters we're asking themselves when deluged with prank calls from teenagers asking them that exact same question.
