Americas Air Conditioned nightmare

No experiment can be conducted to prove whether air-conditioning has tipped control of Congress or the White House to the Republican Party. But the nation’s political predicament is wider and deeper than can be measured at the polls. As the Age of Air-conditioning has waxed, America’s social and political climate has deteriorated — among Democrats, Republicans and independents, from north to south — and that deterioration can’t be completely separated from the climate-control technology that grew along with it.

I found a place where they still think Entourage is awesome…

But you can only get there doing 88 MPH in a Delorean :(
This season has been really dissapointing, Johnny Drama and Turtle need to be pushed!

Serving Sizes

(in General on 2006/06/26)

A serving size of steak is 3 ounces.

A serving size of Altoids is 3 pieces.

These sizes were clearly constructed by very different people with very different agendas. The truth is out there!!!111one

The Hills: Blaine from Teen Vogue

(in TV on 2006/06/26)

How surprisingly hetero is Blaine, the Teen Vogue editor on MTV’s The Hills? Shouldn’t this guy by all rights be wearing some little hat in the middle of his head and snapping in Z formations?

Nachoooooooooooooo!

(in Movies on 2006/06/26)

Marjorie and I caught Nacho Libre the other night — I’d say it certainly delivered and was an enjoyable movie, but didn’t really wow me.

There wasn’t a whole lot of Jack Black leaking through Nacho, stomach aside.

While some of the bits totally missed the mark, many others were totally neutered by the fact that their punchlines had been given away in their trailers. When will we learn?
