So I've had this beautiful for the past six or seven years: Combine the two stupidest copyright-infringing redneck window-sticker trends of the 21st Centurys -- Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes vulgarly pissing on some enemy car brand, and Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes stupidly praying at the foot of a giant Jesus-less crucifix -- into one perfect union. You know, Calvin pissing on the Cross. Well, I kind of mentioned this idea in public today, in the comments of a Wonkette post, and next thing you know a

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:42:15 PDT
A few weeks ago, the New York Times ran a weekend piece entitled In Web World of 24/7 Stress, Writers Blog Till They Drop, which focused on the stressful nature of blogging. Using our friend Marc Orchant's death and Om Malik's heart attack as examples, Matt Richel built a case for web journalism as the cause of certain health woes because of its non-stop, 24/7 real-time nature. There is no doubt that news blogging is stressful. But it is not just blogging. Real-time anything is stressful. Take

Has the playing field become so tilted that big money calls the shots while the average American is left out? March campaign data offer a mixed answer. Below are the March figures courtesy of our main source, opensecrets.org.

Here's something new: Madonna defers to her big-name producers on 'Hard Candy'
Thu, 24 Apr 2008 22:07:12 PDT
Love or hate her (there’s rarely anything in-between), Madonna always seemed to be one step ahead. She was a master at trolling underground styles and appropriating them for mainstream makeovers, in the same way that David Bowie kept redefining cool in the ‘70s by repackaging outrageousness as exquisitely crafted pop, rock and ersatz soul. But the days of Madonna bending the mainstream to her enormous will apparently are over. Her latest album, “Hard Candy” (Warner Bros.), in stor

Yes, we are talking about the United States of America, where the country’s top two bulk retailers, namely, Costco and Wal-Mart, in the face of surging demand, have begun imposing restrictions on bulk sales of basic food articles like rice and flour.
