Julliette Lewis asked her fans, to send “good vibes” to a friend diagnosed with the H1N1 virus. Mass prayer her cure of choice, she called the virus a pharmaceutical hoax, and instructed her followers to “fight the system”. Is there any difference between Creationism and the swelling movement of scientific skeptics? They both ignore fact in favor of a hunch. Sure, we are an over medicated people, but lumping in Viagra and Nyquil with a life saving vaccine hints of fan... Read Full Story

Today I saw a twitter post by Julliette Lewis, who asked her fans to send “good vibes” to someone in her band, diagnosed with the H1N1 virus. After soliciting mass prayer as a cure, she added that she considered the swine flu a big pharmaceutical conspiracy, and instructed her followers to “fight the system”. Wow. Is there any difference between Creationism and the swelling movement of scientific skeptics? They both ignore fact in favor of a hunch. Sure, we are an over... Read Full Story

I panicked. Casually, I had pulled up the surf report app on my iphone and was now doing a double, bug-eyed take: 7-9 foot waves, with excellent conditions. The morning was already halfway over, but I had a show out of town the next day, and work for two days after that. It texted my car pool beach buddy, no response. It had been flat all week, so I decided not to wait. I threw my stuff into my ‘91 Explorer and raced the 30 miles from Eagle Rock to the Manhattan Beach pier. I found beac... Read Full Story

Occupying Afghanistan with an army to bring peace is like booking the Village People at the Westboro Baptist Church: NOT a result of due dilligence. Yet somehow, like an alcoholic, we collectively manage to convince ourselves it’s totally cool to have one more troop addition, before we quit. The call for more is not just on Fox news, it’s everywhere: Last night Bill Maher’s panel consisted of reasonable, well informed liberals. Alec Baldwin, Chris Matthews and some politicia...

Not sure what they were thinking in Norway, but being handed a Nobel Peace Prize before you get the chance to actually do something must be weird. Right now Obama must feel like Beyonce right after Kanye took the mic away from Taylor Swift to kiss her ass: awkward. If I’m not mistaken, the Nobel Peace prize is not historically awarded as encouragement, but as a reward for achievement. Obama has a lot on his plate. Jon Stewart recently observed that maybe, it was time to start eating. To... Read Full Story

Did I overestimate Barack Obama’s abilities to walk the walk? I believed our guy would bang the hottest chick at the party, but in stead he’s about to pass out and get his picture taken with a testicle- draped forehead. Claiming change is one thing, but rolling with big dogs like Insurance Companies and the Military Industrial Complex is another. First the Public Option was all but abandoned after complaints from big Insurance. Now that we, the primitive majority, chase our proces... Read Full Story

Did we overestimate Barack Obama? We voted for the guy banging the hot chick in the bathroom, to abandon her for some playstation ownage. In stead we got a guy that passed out getting his picture taken with a testicle- draped forehead. Claiming change is one thing, but rolling with big dogs like Insurance Companies and the Military Industrial Complex is another. As the primitive majority chases its processed food enema with some high fructose corn syrup,  America is about to be cleverly coaxe... Read Full Story
