Miss USA Stripper Contest Scandal!

No sooner was Rima Fakih named Miss USA than Americans erupted in outrage. No, I’m not talking about Michelle Malkin and Debbie Schlussel. I’m talking about Miss Fakih’s sponsors in the “Stripper 101” contest: The Web site for WKQI-FM (95.5) has photos of a dark-haired young woman they say is Rima Fakih of Dearborn, who was crowned […]

Despite Re-Tweet by Alyssa Milano, Mickey Kaus Still Senate ‘Long Shot’

Ever since Alyssa re-Tweeted him Oct. 28, Mickey Kaus has been the envy of bloggers everywhere (or at least, bloggers around here). However, that kind of New Media energy — dude, she’s got more than 830,000 followers — has not yet developed into an electoral tsunami: In a year when Tea Party activists and the GOP […]

Will Terrorists Boycott Arizona?

Da Tech Guy told me that some residents of Watertown, Mass., he spoke with today said it’s time for Massachusetts to pass its own version of the new Arizona immigration law.

Mr. Nieschwietz said that a Brenham resident had seen the […]

Lawrence Taylor, a $300 Jailbait Hooker and a Pimp Named ‘Rasheed’ Walk Into a Tabloid Scandal . . .

OK, I probably should have continued to ignore the statutory rape prosecution of NFL legend Lawrence Taylor, but I just happened to see this story at the New York Post: The teenage hooker allegedly raped by Lawrence Taylor in a sleazy Rockland County hotel room told The Post yesterday about how her alleged pimp brutally […]

Raquel Welch Agrees With Me

Da Tech Guy seems surprised: Raquel Welsh echoing Robert Stacy McCain? Yet we should not be surprised that even a legendary bombshell would acknowledge self-evident truth: One significant, and enduring, effect of The Pill on female sexual attitudes during the 60’s, was: “Now we can have sex anytime we want, without the consequences. Hallelujah, let’s party!” These days, nobody […]

This Just In: TWITTER IS NEWS!

Twitter pal Sissy Willis tipped me to a Don Irvine post about a study that found Twitter to be more about news than networking. Which means . . .? You guessed it: RT @SissyWillis TWITTER = NEWS http://bit.ly/bCE0ev [] Which means @Alyssa_Milano = Walter Cronkite? C’mon, Alyssa: Just one re-Tweet is all I’m asking for […]
