Time Releases Annual List Of Least Influential Americans

Last night, the current field of 10 Democratic Presidential hopefuls took the stage at the Citadel in South Carolina. It was hosted by the team of CNN and the popular web site, YouTube. The co-hosts promised a revolutionary debate that included questions directly from voters...well, voters with a webcam, cameraphone (theoretically, tho i saw no "videophoned questions") or some digital video capability. the coverage was 100% better than CNN's last effort. Many of the voter questions were ...

Tonight, it will be the democrats that will clash on the debate stage. This time, from South Carolina. This is where CNN is holding their joint venture with Youtube in an effort to change the debates and how they work. Tonight, all the questions will be from people who submitted their questions via the web. I'm not sure that in itself will be revolutionary, although it is a nice change of pace. Of course, it is possible for the 2 media outlets to simply choose the questions some hired m...

Here are the trailers for those who dig the yellow 5some....

1st off, let's get one thing clear. There is no hate here. This morning, the lil girl who thinks herself some great enforcer wrote another one of her impassioned rants that clearly show her obsession with me. I really could care less about her, but she insists on "taking me on" at every opportunity. The part she doen't like is when I hit her between the eyes after she sends off one of her attacks. The attacks began when I was a little over the top (apparantly) with her friend, Brandi...

I really hesitate to write about anything's permanent demise. It's a tricky and iffy proposition. On one hand if I had written about the death of 8-track tape in the 70's, I might have been deemed a prophet, or at least a good analyst of trends. On the other hand, if I had been one to declare print media to be dead in the 80's, I would still be wiping off the proverbial egg from my face. In the early 90's, anyone who saw the death of democratic congressional dominance would have had a...

Last night John Mayer brought his band to the Tweeter Center in Camden, N.J., right outside of Philadelphia. Mayer is known for a couple of contrasting things. On one hand he is the "sensitive balladeer & occasional rocker" that has sold him millions of records and gained him a wide fan base, especially amongst females. Partly in part to his charming songs and partly in due to his "baby-faced" look and "nice guy" persona. On the other hand, John Mayer is a hell of a guitar player. Already...

Tomorrow, President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy. The medical procedure will require him to be under anesthesia. So, the President will utilize the 25th ammendment to the Constitution and Dick Cheney will assume the power. Cheney will remain in power till Bush is no longer the influence of the anesthesia. That should be in a few hours after the power has been transferred. I imagine that people in the business of comedy right now are enjoying the bonanza. This story alone ha...

He was a perennial starting quarterback in the NFL. He had endorsements that other players envy. He was truly one of the NFL's most exciting players. He got "the cover" of the most popular sports videogame franchises ever. As the old cliche goes, women wanted him and men wanted to be him. Michael Vick had it all. So, last year, when Vick was busted in an airport for possession of a small amount of pot, most people were left wondering, "what is this guy thinking?" Even if someone doesn't ...
