AlfonZo Rachel is a conservative Republican putting a young, sometimes corny, flavor on the conservative message. His Cash For Clunkers video below is some food for thought. I don’t agree with everything he says, but the hyperbole makes a great point.
I’m looking forward to the fallout, I mean feedback, from this post.
Here’s a solution for you! James Gunn’s PG Porn has all the great porn kitsch with none of the X-rated scenes. Goofy fun. (Click on the Icon to make it full screen.)
“The Sixth Senseless” is a film short that won 3 awards at the recent Atlanta 2009 48HFP (The 48 Hour Film Project). It’s a hilarious take on a prank gone wrong, with an unwitting 20-something convinced he is dead and stuck on Earth.
I rarely catch the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, but it appears I missed out on the funniest Palin piece of the month.
What I adore most about Palin is her unpredictability, that nothing in her life has been done by the book. I think she will continue to astound us for years to come.
On Good Morning America the other morning, a guest was on lamenting that young girls don’t read Nancy Drew novels anymore (Is anyone really shocked? The books were antiquated when I was a child, and that was before the internet sped everything up tenfold.). She felt that little girls looked up to beautiful celebrities instead of brave women who thought for themselves and went on adventures.
When I was little, I didn’t know women who were lawyers or doctors or businesspeople. I did, however, stay up late to watch the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” on Nick at Nite Read more »
It seems like so many famous people are dying- entertainers, athletes, businessmen. On top of that we all have dealt with family or friends who are ill or have passed. Why does it feel like so many people we know are suffering? Blame it on facebook. Myspace. Twitter. Read more »
I was lucky enough to catch a little bit of the Michael Jackson memorial service at the Staples Center live today (though I’m sure it’ll get plenty of replay), and found Brooke Shields’ speech particularly moving. Here it is below:
Coline Covington, a British psychoanalyst, wrote Narcissism Killed the Man in the Mirror in reaction to Michael Jackson’s death. It is an interesting look at how Jackson’s deriving of self-worth from an adoring public may have doomed him. A brief excerpt is below:
“Surrounded by his entourage of “enablers” in his hospital bed in the UCLA Medical Centre, Michael Jackson died last Friday with his music playing and “bouncing off the walls”. Jackson was to the end a performer, transfixed with seeing himself and hearing himself, with being seen and being heard, searching for the public limelight and for the reassurance of being loved by all…” Read More.
Suspension is the art of hanging one’s body off the ground, using hooks embedded into the skin. The practice seems to have started with Native American tribes, some of which continue to do this today as part of the “Vision Quest” or othert rituals. Amber Sutton is a modern day suspensionist and shares the story of her first time suspending below. -Tara Overzat

An Experience I Will Never Forget
By Amber Sutton
An experience I will never forget, the hooks I was soo worried about, were nothing. Getting off the ground was tough for the first time. I cried a little because, this was the moment I had wanted so bad and it was finally happening Read more »
Michael Jackson died on my birthday. I received a text message from a friend at 6:09pm. TMZ was reporting the death well before any of the other news outlets.
Everyone was shocked and saddened. I feel like Jackson was robbed of his last shot, his last chance Read more »
