Snarky Thoughts

EPA to Americans: Stop breathing, you’re poisoning the planet! Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s “Greenhouse gases,” but it’s still CO2, and the science is not settled, no matter how many times the media and AGW adherents repeat that phrase. I would point you to cancer studies, where first we find out that chocolate helps prevent cancer, [...]  

Poor Zero. It’s been such a hard week for him. Luckily, our new pal and contributor Jamie was there to capture it all. And we’re looking forward to much more first-rate PhotoChop journalism from Jamie in the future. First there was the fallout over the Dinner Crashers, which dragged on for days in a he said [...]

Toronto's premiere purveyors of dancehall-indebted club tunes, singer Alana and DJ/producer Pho (a.k.a. Bonjay), are prepped to release Gimmee Gimmee, their first official output since 2007's Bangarang Business mixtape. The EP, set for digital release November 20, features "Gimmee Gimmee" and "Faat Gyal," two original tracks filled with the same vocal energy and bass-heavy production as the group's previous remixes, with various treatments...  

I'm not sure if I love or am totally annoyed by this song, but if you dig Santigold, M.I.A. or dancehall-inflected stuff like Major Lazer and Jovi Rockwell you need to check this out:Bonjay - "Gimmee Gimmee" [yousendit mp3 download link]Its already a favorite with hispt... tastemaker DJ's like my dude, Nick and Cosmo Baker (apparently).Online:Bonjay - website | myspace | twitter | facebook

Could Mike Castle end up chasing Beau Biden out of the Senate race? MSNBC: "Now Democrats are waiting on Biden's son, Beau, to decide (BTW, he might be having more cold feet than some realize, so we're hearing)." Castle's move means there's an open House seat, which Biden could probably win pretty easily, and he could simply wait until Castle or Delaware's other senator, Democrat Tom Carper, retire. UPDATE: I stand corrected, although it's...  

J-Street Blues: World’s smallest violin concerto for Jeremy Ben-Ami, the anti-Israel pro-Israel guy who can’t get Michael Oren or anyone in the Netanyahu administration to give him the time of day. Hm, let’s think. It’s a supposed pro-Israel lobbying group that is against Iranian sanctions, was against the Gaza war, thinks that Israel is ultimately [...]  

Probably ten times the amount of people read this (Waggle Room) site than my own. So, if I want to reach more people, Ryan pays me $1.00 per word to reach them from here. (Only kidding.  Ryan: He's right, it's $5.00.)... When I first joined Twitter, I used the shotgun approach and got 600 followers in 3-4 days.  Naturally, in order to do that I had to follow about 700 or so. So, I then sat down in Tweeterdom and perused the wealth of golf...  

* The politics of this move are not too hard to figure out. Secretary Adams has a lot of support in the General Assembly, so firing her outright would’ve caused Gov. Pat Quinn mucho trouble. But it’s just another example of the Quinn administration’s unwritten rule that state employee layoffs are only [...]

CityNews are giving a lot of time to the musings of the Chiefly Jon Stanhope. One intriguing piece features the Chief Minister saying how great it is that he’s finally figured out how to do his job and he doesn’t plan to stop now.

(TrendHunter.com) It’s early, but it’s once again time to start preparing for the holidays. Flytrap greeting cards provide a pleasantly snarky alternative to the usual holiday messages. Now all those Scrooges out there…  

The other day, longtime commenter Arwen noticed something: HEY, SNARKYSMACHINE HAS A BLOG! Oh, sorry. I got a bit excited there. We did, too, when we first found Snarky’s blog, and after a couple of weeks of reading that and her smart, hilarious, ass-kicking comments here, we started wondering if she’d ever consider blogging for Shapely Prose. Unfortunately, [...]
