Why do I have a picture of Julie Newmar in a 1960s ad for Smirnoff Vodka here?  Why not?  Occasionally, I post the odd vintage advertisement and this one took me back to my childhood.  Was I child alcoholic?  No, although if I had seen this ad as a kid and I thought I’d meet [...]

I don’t mean to kick a man when he’s down but when you lose billions of dollars, your company’s share price drops from $70 to $4, and lose market share all on your watch– its time to go.  Unfortunately, the talking heads on CNBC are actually debating whether or not Rick Wagoner deserved to be [...]

In these trying times, everyone takes the loss of their job differently.  Take the French for instance, this past week: Workers at a factory operated by the U.S. firm 3M  released the French manager they had held hostage for over 24 hours on Thursday after a deal on conditions for laid-off staff. The industrial director [...]

The Farrelly brothers are planing to do a Three Stooges movie. If the casting gods align, a bowl-cut Benicio Del Toro will be sticking his fingers in the eyes of a puffed-up Jim Carrey, while a frowsy-haired Sean Penn watches on in Bobby and Peter Farrelly’s update of The Three Stooges.

Welcome to the world of masking.  Its just like it sounds, it manages to combine the creepiness of [...]

Its not quite a sign of the apocalypse, but when a 73 year old woman threatens a 78 year old to “stay away from her man” you know something is amiss in the universe.  The video below does not feature an elderly cat fight, its just the 78 year old woman telling a local Dayton [...]

The newly-launched Irish Central website has compiled a list of the top 10 worst Irish accents on film.  So I’m using this to atone for missing an actual post on St. Patrick’s Day.   Call it Catholic guilt.  What’s amusing about the list is that most of the actors on the list have won Oscars, [...]

Its nice to have a sports fan back in the White House.  I know George W. Bush was a baseball fan, but he doesn’t count.  He was also a club owner (The Texas Rangers), we all know that owners are a breed apart and not necessarily people you want to hang out with (Steinbrenner, Al [...]
