This is the most upset a human being has ever, in the history of mankind, gotten over a women’s basketball game. And who still says “dog gone?” Try to understand one dog gone point this guy makes. Something about offensive rebounds?

Anyone who has ever found those Wilford Brimley diabetes commercials funny will appreciate this.

The omniscient Danwei noticed this afternooon that access to YouTube had been restored in mainland China. To be honest, I had stopped looking. Two weeks ago today, the site was blocked suddenly while the National Communist Congress convened in Beijing. The block also coincided with Google’s launch of two Chinese language YouTube […]

Disaster struck Monday when senator and former presidential candidate John Kerry visited the University of Florida campus to have a dialogue with students. One thing that bugs me are these “dialogues” that American political figures have with “the people.” A dialogue, according to the American Heritage Dictionary, is “an exchange of ideas or […]

Well, just until December 10th when God will have to turn Vick’s life over to the Virginia Department of Corrections. The Atlanta Falcons former quarterback appeared Monday to apologize publicly for what he calls “a mistake.” I have been reading all sorts of articles surrounding this case as I find it captivating for […]

After a three-and-a-half-month hiatus, Bill Maher’s left-leaning political program “Real Time” returned to HBO Friday night.

From Deadspin.com comes a video of a Chinese guy trying to throw one down. It sounds pretty boring. Except for the fact that this Chinese guy brings down the entire backboard. And at first it really looks like the thing comes down on his neck. Luckily, he walks away unscathed. […]

Update (4/6/07): While I sympathize with the two commentators who were dismayed that they were unable to see the Thai king video, maybe if you had visited the site on the day the clip was posted, you would have gotten to see it. The site is called “Flumes-day,” not “Flumes-every few days.” For […]

This is one of the strangest videos you’ll ever see. It’s Alanis Morissette singing a poignant version of “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas. She’s dressed like a standard video whore and actually looks kind of good that way. My favorite part is when, over some very somber piano, Alanis […]

This is why I like the NCAA tournament. Besides for the fact that the tourney shows America’s brightest athletes playing for one shining moment (and by bright I don’t mean smart), it’s the rivalry and debate all across America that truly makes the tournament for me. It’s the idiot who justifies each one […]
