Senator Rand Paul, from my home state of Kentucky, is a growing conservative leader and a libertarian chip off the old block of his father, Ron Paul.  In addition, both Pauls are doctors, Senators, and generally all around well-behaved gentlemen.  Except when their civil liberties are infringed upon by the government or an agency thereof; […]

Once upon a time, Russia and the United States were bitter enemies in pretty much all aspects of life.  From sports to space exploration, the US and the USSR were neck-and-neck in their fight against one another, but not anymore.  With the fall of the Iron Curtain and the democratization of Russia, two former enemies […]

When it comes to marriage, you have to work to make it.  Russell Brand and Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, and most of Hollywood won’t put in the hard work necessary to make a merger of two celebrities work, but it always seemed like Seal (the singer, not the animal) and Heidi Klum were going to […]

So, it’s kind of gross to think about, but the news is out there and we’re going to go ahead and discuss it.  Newt Gingrich, GOP presidential candidate, has faced a lot of scrutiny during his campaign through the primaries.  Now, he’s being assaulted on a new front:  his personal life.  Marianne Gingrich, second ex-wife […]

Man, you do not want to mess with Anonymous these days.  The collective of hackers or whatever you want to call them seems to be growing more and more powerful as a force for justice and freedom on the Internet.  For example, the Department of Justice shut down file-sharing website Megaupload and drew the ire […]

Over 130 years ago, Eastman Kodak started the photography industry.  They invented the hand-held camera and captured images from the surface of the moon.  The company has even been the subject of a Paul Simon song.  However, all the pop culture noteworthiness can’t protect a company from the march of time, and it looks increasingly […]

Peyton Manning is rumored to be retiring.  That’s not terribly unusual news.  After all, Peyton Manning has had three neck surgeries during his career, including spinal fusion surgery, and he missed all of last season while recovering and rehabbing his injured neck.  That’s a very serious injury, and very serious surgery.  In his absence, the […]

One man’s fashion victory is another’s fashion crime.  That’s true for everything from mini-skirts to anti-cancer bracelets, all of which have been banned.  Next on the ban-dar?  Pajamas.  If one Shreveport, Louisiana politician has his way, Caddo parish will ban wearing pajamas out in public under a proposed new ordinance. “If you can’t [wear pajamas] […]

Things are looking might strange this morning around the Internet, and you have Congress to blame for that.  Despite the massive groundswell of anti-censorship protests that forced companies like GoDaddy to shun the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act, Congress still hasn’t gotten the message.  So, the Internet has united as one to […]

These days, you can get just about anything delivered to your home.  From books to groceries, you don’t have to leave your house to get anything if you time your orders right, and same-day delivery is becoming increasingly popular for more and more things, except for one area:  fast food.  If you want a burger […]

By all accounts, last night’s Golden Globes as presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association failed to strike the same controversial tone that was taken during host Ricky Gervais’s previous stints as the presenter of the ceremony.  For his third hosting gig, it seems like he was mostly marginalized to a few brief introduction periods, […]

In the movie The Royal Tenenbaums, Royal Tenenbaum takes his grandsons Ari and Uzi for a trip through the seedier parts of New York.  They jump on the back of a garbage truck to steal a ride, go to a cockfight, and generally have a great time.  Unsurprisingly, Gene Hackman has a little of that […]

Well, the case is over.  Natalee Holloway is officially deceased.  In a court in Birmingham, Alabama, Judge Alan King honored the request of Dave Holloway, Natalee’s father, to have the girl declared legally dead in part to free up her college fund for use by her younger brother.  No doubt this is also a move […]

The story may be reported first in The Star, one of those supermarket tabloids, but the sources seem solid.  Robert Kardashian’s ex-wife Jan Ashley and widow Ellen Kardashian are banding together to announce an alleged Kardashian family secret:  Khloe Kardashian isn’t Robert Kardashian’s daughter.  At least, that’s what Robert believed before he passed away; meanwhile, […]

When Osama Bin Laden’s secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan was raided by US military forces, the world held its breath.  When word of Bin Laden’s death spread around the world, people everywhere celebrated the demise of the terrorist mastermind.  Now, it looks as if all traces of Bin Laden are going to be wiped off the […]
