It’s… al… most… here……….

Why exactly is Bush, and all of those wieners in Congress, against human cloning? I believe it must be one of, or a combination of, two things: A. They want to pretend that only Jesus makes the babies, not scientists, even though this will obviously be possible soon. B. They fear an impending human vs [...]

On Monday I had a veritable tour of Brooklyn. Having no car of my own and an MTA month-pass burning a hole in my pocket I decided to take care of some errands via the NYC bus lines. I began in Kensington (South Brooklyn), went up to Prospect Heights (a yuppie section southeast of downtown) [...]

This is pretty interesting for anyone who travels a lot. Apparently, if your flight is delayed for a reason other than weather many airlines, especially the old ones, have it in their policy to book you on the next available flight, even if it is with another airline.

So, it’s that time again. The Oscars nominations came out last week and it’s always a mad scramble to see, not what great movies were nominated, but what great movies were not. Most shocking of all is that Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead was completely overlooked. Wtf. Juno made the Best Picture list, which [...]

Very sad news. One of my favorite writers, J.G. Ballard, has advanced prostate cancer. He has a autobiography coming soon, which I suppose is a bit of good news. His first memoir was Empire of the Sun, which was made into a movie by Spielberg. I am forever indebted to Ballard for my experiences reading [...]

Dayamn. This looks really good. Although, some might argue that the J.J. Abrams team specializes in creating anticipation. I’m optimistic though. I dig the gritty, under-the-hood perspective of the Enterprise. It’s reminiscent of the new BSG, which has a lot of focus on the people who shift the gears, literally, the workers who are customarily [...]

Here is a rather silly ONDCP Press Release about a “dangerous new drug threat”: Extreme Ecstasy!! The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) is warning public health and safety leaders across the country about a dangerous new drug threat coming from Canada. Ecstasy laced with methamphetamine (meth) has been entering the United [...]
