“Life would be much simpler if people who are subjected to persistent marginalization and disparagement weren’t so “sensitive” and just took their insults and degradation, or pretended they weren’t really about them. Persistently marginalized and disparaged people should not speak up because they are to blame for their own problems. Identifying with marginalized victimhood prevents […]
Read moreTop 10 Offensive Things About “Work It”
The new ABC sitcom “Work It” has caused instant outrage in the Nuyorican community, mainly over the following line, delivered by an island-born Puerto Rican, Amaury Nolasco, about his skill set for a job at a pharmaceutical company: “I’m Puerto Rican — I’d be great at selling drugs.” This is of course incredibly offensive and […]

When we last left you, there was some weird episode involving J-Lo and a Fiat, and then there was the Fox News Gingrich candidacy, which kind of suckered me in but now it seems as if it might have been just another Murdoch-Ailes distraction from who knows what, some Hugh Grant voicemail. Of course, it […]
Read moreMurdoch Lets Boricua in the House?
Don’t look now but some conservatives, possibly following a Murdoch agenda, have begun touting Puerto Rico governor Luis Fortuño as a possible Republican Vice-Presidential candidate. Yesterday the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal published yet another puff piece on the right-wing governor, which opened with these lines: “He’s young, dynamic, and well-spoken. As a Republican vice-presidential nominee, […]
Read moreThe Last J-Lo Post (for now)
I couldn’t resist this one, since Olbermann has gotten continuously edgier in this Al Gore-sponsored version of his muckraking show. In fact you can really see why he left MSNBC. With just a few exceptions (some Maddow, some Ed Schultz), MSNBC has focused much more on the endless stupidity of the Republican Presidential Debates and […]

I’m struck by the beauty of the Italian language. If I’m ever somehow involved in a celebrity media gossip controversy again, I hope it’s reproduced in as many Romance languages as possible. Also, thanks to Noam Cohen at Media Decoder. Just one correction: I watched a substantial amount of the shoot from the sidewalk, from […]
Read moreStudents Beaten and Arrested at Baruch College
Breaking news…several students were attacked, beaten and arrested at Baruch College protesting a proposed tuition increase for all of CUNY. This happens on the heels of the pepper spray incident at UC Davis, which has forced the placing on administrative of leave of the University police chief. I’m assuming you’ve already seen that video.Right now […]

If nothing else, this latest move by the Occupy crew made it widely known where Mayor Bloomberg actually lives. Right down the block from the Met, of all places. I mean, we all knew that he didn’t live at Gracie Mansion because it was below his standards. No, a man of his ilk needed to […]

I hadn’t checked out Alphaville for a while but when I did the other night I realized it was part of a cultural memory of mine that was instilled in me and helped shape my world view even if I hadn’t remembered every detail of the script. Here Lemmy Caution (a/k/a Ivan Johnson from […]

I suppose he could have pointed out the connection between Frank Miller, OWS and Batman movies. And now, for something completely different, from my old pal Papo: http://Papoletospeaks.blogspot.com Go ahead, click on it!
