You might get a kick out of this . Hopefully no one has posted it before. I've seen it happen before, and it's not pretty. The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few. But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky. Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be? ...

In today's Washington Post, an article lambastes President Bush and the White House for not anticipating the extent of the damage that was about to be caused by Hurricane Katrina. Despite an email 48 hours before landfall and a PowerPoint presentation on the morning of landfall, FEMA and the federal government supposedly fiddled while New Orleans sank. Link : A 41-page assessment by the Department of Homeland Security's National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center (N...

It was bound to happen sooner or later - Michael Moore's ritual destruction of politics, this time on both sides of the border. Now he's into Canadian electoral interference. Next time Moore comes to Canada, he should be charged with violating the Canada Elections Act s. 331: 331. No person who does not reside in Canada shall, during an election period, in any way induce electors to vote or refrain from voting or vote or refrain from voting for a particular candidate unless ...

Here are 72 questions from the boy who wants to be a suicide bomber. Just ask these questions to the perverted bacterial Mullah who told these young, uneducated boys to die for Allah. ... 1) What if the bomber wants girls with more experience? 2) What if one virgin is no good in bed?

Q: How did I know Kobe was innocent in his rape charge? A: He's never made a pass in his life. To prove that I was right all along, Kobe Bryant stunned the basketball world last night in an 81-point romp against the Toronto Raptors. His Lakers won the game and embarrassed the Raptors 122-104. It was a hideous, atrocious display of team sports. Team sports, schmeem sports, as far as Kobe Bryant is concerned. His selfishness and showboating is doing nothing for his team, except drag it ...

On Saturday we decided to be tourists! We went down into Washington DC to try to get as much national heritage in one day as possible. The great thing is that we only live about 45 minutes from downtown DC. My wife's idea was for us to get up to the top of the Washington Monument, which is something that neither my wife nor I had ever done. We also wanted to visit a Smithsonian Museum, which subjects are many and varied. They have everything from American History to Art to the Air and ...

Here's responsible statesmanship of the worst kind. Jacques Chirac, President of France and the guy with his finger on the button of France's nuclear arsenal, threatened to use nuclear weapons in response to any terrorist attack on France that originated from abroad. For example, after a 9/11-type attack on French soil, the retaliation would be a nuclear strike on Afghanistan. Chirac showing his tough, manly side. From today's Washington Post : French President Jacques Chirac s...

He claims that he's got several projects underway and the only way we can prevent them from happening is to accede to bin Laden's demands. He claims that he doesn't want to fight any more, but can we take it at face value? From Yahoo News : Osama bin Laden warned that al Qaeda was preparing new attacks inside the United States, but said the group was op...

I try not to get involved with new TV shows. Mostly because I don't want to make the time investment that will happen over a show that I actually like. One hour a week becomes five hours a week before you know it. I especially try to avoid mid-season replacements, since their lifespans are notoriously short-lived and hard to predict. But Tuesday night at 10 EST/PST (9 Central) on CBS, I watched a show that was totally worth the time investment: "Love Monkey" . The show stars ...
