What happens if the ghosts that plague you are, well, unorganized?
Citizen Kane Still Number 1
Ten years ago, the American Film Institute members voted on and ranked the top 100 American films of all time. This year, they did the same thing, taking a new vote: In the CBS special "AFI’s 100 Years … 100 Movies — 10th Anniversary Edition," "Citizen Kane" held the same No. 1 billing it earned in the institute’s first top-100 … Read More

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s — it’s –it’s — The Dramatic Chipmunk!
Red vs Blue
Some interesting facts about red vs blue states: The Commonwealth Fund report, "Aiming Higher: Results from a State Scorecard on Health System Performance," examined states’ performance across 32 indicators of health care access, quality, outcomes and hospital use. Topping the list were Hawaii, Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Bringing up the rear were the Bush bastions of Kentucky, Louisiana, … Read More

Trojan Pigs
This woman makes a good point: "We always find it funny that you can use sex to sell jewelry and cars, but you can’t use sex to sell condoms,” a spokeswoman for Ansell Healthcare, which makes LifeStyles condoms. She’s talking about a new commercial for Trojan condoms, which Fox and CBS have refused to air. In a commercial for Trojan … Read More
And In The End, The Love You Take….
With the general disappointment over the last episode of "The Sopranos" (I’m not a watcher, so I have no comment), the folks at MSNBC compiled a list of the "best" and "worst" endings of movies, TV shows, and books: BEST ENDINGS: Movies: The Godfather Notorious The Lady Eve The Wild Bunch The Third Man The Usual Suspects McCabe and Mrs. … Read More
People Magazine Commits A Gross Oversight For, Like, The 20th Year In A Row
It names the Hottest Bachelors, and I don’t make the list (again!): (Psssst, ladies — McConaughey is soooo not into you, if you know what I mean)
The Singing Phone Salesman
This video is getting a bit viral, so you may have seen it by now. If not, you’re in for a treat. It comes from a TV competition show from across the pond called "Britain’s Got Talent". Yes, it’s basically the same as "America’s Got Talent" and "American Idol". A bunch of contestents, three judges, etc. In fact, one of … Read More

Religion And Black-Vs-White Thinking
I’ve said it before; I’ll say it again. The greatest threat facing the world isn’t Islam, but religious extremism. Any extremism. Reuters: Violent Muslim, Christian and Jewish extremists invoke the same rhetoric of "good" and "evil" and the best way to fight them is to tackle the problems that drive people to extremism, according to a report obtained by Reuters. … Read More
I Largely Agree With Lesbians
A list of the "Hottest 100 Women" is nothing new, but this list was selected and voted on by lesbians. With the exception of their #1 (UPDATE: okay …and #31), I really have no major disagreements. However: Let’s face it: Maxim doesn’t cater to lesbians. In fact, you could say it flies in the face of all that we hold … Read More
From A Paris Hilton Fan
This epistle by someone named "Larry" was posted at a Paris Hilton fansite. It is basically one long run-on sentence — which I’ve broken up — but otherwise, I haven’t changed a letter. It seems to me that her attorneys should obtain a federal injucntion against the judge punishing Paris for the enforcement of a federal ruling. Yes, this makes … Read More
The Gay Bomb
I thought this was a hoax, but apparently it is true: The proposal came from the Air Force’s Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, which requested $7.5 million to develop a so-called "gay-bomb." Using the Freedom of Information Act, Edward Hammond, director of the U.S. office of the Sunshine Project, obtained a copy which was "part of a military effort to … Read More
