November 29, 2005 ![]() Is it me or does this democratic candidate for the House of Representatives in my district look like the Maniac Cop? November 26, 2005 ![]() In an emergency I bought a pair of odd basketball shorts from a shady clothing store on 14th Street. Odd because they fit bizarrely, and after getting them home, I discovered that they were made in Syria, a bastion of good ideas and a beacon for the rest of the world. My only questions are: Who is making shorts in Syria? And is it legal to sell them in the U.S.? November 19, 2005 ![]() As a very special holiday treat, I am presenting a track from one of the finest albums of the late 80s, Chunky A's Large and in Charge. The epic final track on the album is "Dope, The Big Lie," (5.2 MB, mp3) and on it Chunky pulls out all the stops in delivering a very potent anti-drug message, with guest spots from Ice T, Paula Abdul, KRS One, and, most memorably, Wil Wheaton. "God would have given us wings if he wanted us high... Dope ain't dope." For more info on Chunky, check here. November 16, 2005 ![]() In a development that clearly signals the end times, Jon Voight and Diana Ross are apparently Hollywood's hottest new couple. And it gets better ... they were set up on their first date by Berry Gordy. November 14, 2005
Fewer than one in 10 adults say they would prefer a congressional candidate who is a Republican and who agrees with Bush on most major issues, according to a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday. Even among Republicans, seven of 10 are most likely to back a candidate who has at least some disagreements with the president.
November 12, 2005 ![]() I hurt myself yesterday when I hit my head on the edge of a cabinet here at home. There was a good deal of blood followed by general dizziness and malaise. Amazingly, I have hit my head so many times that I am starting to feel like it has to be some sort of disorder. This time didn't require stitches, but I have suffered serious blows to the head in 1998, 1999 (twice), 2002, and now 2005. (There was also a time when I bled all over a department store display after hitting my head on it back in the early 80s.) In a brief survey I conducted yesterday, many people seem never to have struck their heads hard enough to draw blood. What is wrong with me? Please email with suggestions for how I can prevent becoming a sad statistic. ![]() In other news, Bush's speech yesterday finally convinced me that invading Iraq was a good idea. I've been sitting on the fence for a while now. We have to finish the mission! November 04, 2005 ![]() My good friend Jesse Vital and his girlfriend Katerina stayed at my place last night en route to an appearance on Regis and Kelly's Halloween Costume Contest. They took second place and also ran into Jamie Foxx, producing perhaps the year's best photo. |
