Weekend Amusements

September 13th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Comedy |

You know how when you go into the HR people’s offices they always have motivational posters, like the cute kitten hanging from something and the caption is “Hang In There.” If you are as cynical about such things as I am, read on.

Al Qaeda In Iraq Explained

March 11th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Comedy, Politics |

Sadly No lays out the connection between this al Qaeda and that other al Qaeda. I love a good simile, and this one made me laugh out loud. The Devo part that is. Especially the thing with the accordion.

Photoshop Tutorials

March 8th, 2008 | 0 Comments | Strange Site Of The Week, Tech Stuff |

You might be tempted to blow this post off because it’s about Photoshop and you don’t use Photoshop and probably never will. That would be a mistake, because in the “You Suck At Photoshop” series building technical skills is only tangential to the story.

James K. Polk: Wrong For America

December 26th, 2006 | 13 Comments | Comedy |

And you thought the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorists need to get a life. Some-time Kos diarist manleymcfaghag casts aspersions on the manliness of our eleventh President, who compromised on his “52-40 or fight” campaign pledge and left Vancouver Island and other parts of “Canadian-occupied America” to the Canadians. The site carries political parody to unprecedentedly [...]

Deadpan TV

August 22nd, 2006 | 0 Comments | Comedy |

Part of Trio’s “Brilliant but Cancelled,” “Lookwell” features Adam West delivering a stone-faced sendup of a seventies TV detective drama. He plays an actor who played a detective on TV, and uses his honorary badge to get in the middle of crime investigations. Dig the halting, Batman-style delivery of his brilliant deductions. Best line, delivered [...]

No More Slogans

It’s almost as though back in school, while the rest of us were reading “1984″ and thinking how terrible it could be, there was this whole group of people who were thinking “yeah, this could work!”

Blog Roundup

August 13th, 2006 | 2 Comments | Politics |

A couple of blogs I ran across are worth noting. Kung Fu Monkey combines a left-wing political point of view I favor, along with varied sentence structure and a smattering of obscenity, into the kind of mix I favor. The author is a stand-up comedian as well as a screenwriter, and has a physics degree [...]

Black Comedy

July 27th, 2006 | 0 Comments | Comedy, Entertainment |

If you haven’t yet tuned in to “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” on the F/X Network, take a look. Danny DeVito is involved, and the brand of wicked black comedy seen in “The War of the Roses” and “Throw Momma From The Train” permeates. Think of “Cheers From Hell,” or a twisted version of Seinfeld [...]

It’s Back

Last night my two teenagers started yelling, “Dad, Dad … hurry ! … come here … you’ve got to see what’s on TV!”
