The forgotten man…
FDR’s forgotten man.
The Denver Post recently published a remarkable series of Depression era photographs from a 2006 Library of Congress exhibit entitled Bound for Glory: America in Color. Segueing nicely with this exhibit is The Denver Post’s own exceptional gallery of World War II images that documented the war in the Pacific and was intended [...]
A Playa Moment…
This Playa Moment was brought to you by beer. I urge you to buy several six-packs not just today, but everyday. Help our economy get moving again by buying and consuming it in mass quantities. It’s also an essential part of a balanced and nutritious diet. This Public Service Announcement was brought to you by [...]
The other side of the story…
Breakups are tough. It’s even tougher when the person you broke up with is a psychopathic stalker. So here’s psychopathic stalker Cee Lo Green wishing his ex and her new man all the best as he “coincidentally” runs into them all over town:

The Expendables…
Totally Expendable.
When most people think of tough guys, they usually think John Rambo, Casey Ryback, John Matrix, or John McClane (among others). But those guys are chumps compared to the new breed of bad-asses that have redefined what it means to be a human weapon. Introducing The Fat Jew and Nedžad Kličić, Bosnia’s own “Rambonator”! [...]
Kim Jong Il’s Soul Train…
A personal message from Kim Jong Il:
We’re tired of you jive-talking imperialist sock-puppets keeping us down. So after over fifty years of being on the wrong side of history, it’s finally time for a little groovy red revenge. That’s right capitalist toadies, if our economic model won’t destroy you, then our ghetto-fabulous disco inferno will! [...]
In space, no one can hear your Pez dispenser scream…
A Pez Dispenser only H. R. Giger could love.
Despite the fact that it’s over thirty years old, Ridley Scott’s Alien is still the quintessential survival horror film. The genre, it could be argued, was popularized – even invented – by George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, but it was Scott who perfected it and [...]
Spock, how do I love thee, let me count the ways…
The Many faces of Spock.
There are few things more cheesier than the original Star Trek. The make-up. The costumes. The dialogue. The acting. But when your visionary is Gene Roddenberry and your leading man is William Shatner, failure isn’t just an option, it’s usually the result. True, simply having the screenwriting and acting equivalents of [...]
The Eco Chamber…
In the Age of Gore, Algore-ithms (my Gore-ism for “going green”) have multiplied exponentially until everything has become absurdly stupid. Take this urinal for example. The clear glass “sink” actually functions more as a backsplash, so – if you’re like me and suffer from the occasional “wild hose” – you’ll be able to relive your [...]
The remains of the day…
The Journal of the National Geographic Society : Nirvana on paper.
If you loved National Geographic back-in-the-day when they were a lot more geographic and a lot less political, then you remember those wonderful photos of exotic cultures, mysterious locales, and nature at both its most vicious and its most tender. The following photo [...]
