Things have certainly changed in the last 24 hours. John McCain won Florida last night, with Mitt Romney a close second. Hillary Clinton also won Florida, but no delegates were rewarded since the state was penalized for moving its primary up by a week.
Today, both parties will be striped down to two [...]
In her new book, The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, Naomi Wolf outlines the path America needs to take to achieve complete and total fascism by shuttering society as a whole. Her book was the basis for this article she recently wrote for The Guardian.
How many of the ten steps have we already achieved here in America?
1. Invoke a terrifying internal and external enemy
2. Create a gulag
3. Develop a thug caste
4. Set up an internal surveillance system
5. Harass citizens’ groups
6. Engage in arbitrary detention and release
7. Target key individuals
8. Control the press
9. Dissent equals treason
10. Suspend the rule of law

Whether or not any election fraud took place during the New Hampshire primary, the following video shows just how easy it is for ballots to be tampered with. The look on the face of New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner is priceless - a cross somewhere between a deer getting caught in the [...]
I wish I was making this up. I really do but I’m not. Heath Ledger, star of the upcoming film The Dark Knight, was found dead of an apparent drug overdose in a New York City apartment. This is utterly tragic.
EDIT: The New York Times reports that it [...]
With the Writer’s Strike still going, one wonders what this year’s Oscar ceremony will look like. Jon Stewart is still scheduled to host on February 24…
Variety has the full list of nominations.
George W. Bush’s final legacy begins today. On behalf of my children, and my children’s children, I’d like to personally thank all of the uninformed who not only voted for the retarded tyrant in 2000 but also those who reelected him in 2004. Without you, it couldn’t have been done. And yet [...]
Is it just me or does the Green Line seem to be teetering on the eve on destruction?
I’ve been riding the Green Line for three years now and it has always been an unpleasant and bumpy experience. Lately though, I feel like we could go flying off the tracks at any moment. [...]
The sparks flew earlier tonight at the Democratic Presidential Debate in South Carolina as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama spent seven minutes gouging each others eyes out. Not literally, of course. John Edwards had front row seats.
Last week when Jackie and I went trekking through the snow over at Hall’s Pond Sanctuary, we came across a picture hanging from a tree. It was really creepy to just randomly stumble across something like that. It was obviously attached to the tree by someone, but for what purpose? Does anyone [...]
Apparently Rachael Ray, the national spokesmonster for Dunkin’ Donuts, doesn’t like Dunk’s coffee, or as I like to call it: diesel fuel.
Grub Street has the scoop:
So a friend of mine was on set last week as Rachael Ray filmed her latest Dunkin’ Donuts commercial. According to her, Rachael stormed onto the set and snapped at everyone. Not news, I know, everyone knows she’s actually a gigantic asshole. BUT! I am also told she took one sip of her Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, yelled “What is this shit? Get me MY coffee,” and would not continue until she was given “her” coffee — i.e., Starbucks.
While only the biggest internet geeks will catch every reference, I think most people can appreciate the deadpan brilliance of this video. This is the funniest thing you will see all day, week, and maybe even all month. Wicked props to Cracked for actually making me laugh for once. Every actor nailed his or her character, with Facebook and Digg the standouts. Fucking brilliant.(0)
I’ve seen a lot of snow since living in Boston but usually the big snow storms and blizzards have nothing but dry, useless snow - the kind of snow that can’t be used to make a snowball. Well, Monday’s snow storm dumped close to a foot of moist snow over the Boston area. [...]
Mattel and Hasbro, the makers of the classic board game Scrabble, want to shutdown Scrabulous, which has surged in popularity ever since the launch of the Facebook application that I am hopelessly addicted to. A Facebook group has been launched as an official petition to save Scrabulous.

Former Congressman Mark Deli Siljander (R, Michigan) has been indicted as part of a terrorist fundraising ring for allegedly sending more than $130,000 to an al-Qaida and Taliban supporter. He may be a traitor to his country but at least he wasn’t caught molesting young boys or soliciting sex in a public bathroom.
