CBS6 News

Liz Bishop and partner seem to think that "She Loves You" is the gold standard by which all other Beatles recordings, past and newly discovered, should be measured. Therefore, why would Paul McCartney even think of tampering with our memories of this one, great hit by releasing this 14-minute previously unheard experimental recording done by the group. I really doubt that hearing this new song will alter She Loves You's place in history, and certainly won't change our way of hearing A Day in the Life and Eleanor Rigby. Might be nice, actually, played back to back with Revolution #9.

Sigh. Sounds like "Smallbany" TV News.

More on tattoos

I find tattoos repulsive. They literally hurt my eyes. They're not exercises in rebellion or individuality- they're a moronic fad that quite simply, LOOKS trashy even if the person isn't. As an artist and painter- I am appalled by the defacement and mutilation of God's creations. Philosophy aside, I just think they're ALL ugly- the plastering of ink on rock musicians, the little butterflies on ankles, the horrible distractive symbol on a woman's back, belly, or hip- no, what turns me on are the gorgeous, unmarred curves and expanses of unmarked, unpierced, virginal flesh that we were all born with, whatever the color, size, or shape. That blotch of ink, no matter how meaningful to the misguided soul, is simply ugly as hell.

Palin sucks


First of all, Mr. X is full of crap. If he's a democrat or a
journalist, I'm Joe the Plumber. And Joe the plumber isn't even Joe
the Plumber- another pathetic joke from the McCain campaign. "Mr. X"
is as full of hatred as all the other pro-Palin and anti-Obama morons
and bigots. People aren't jealous of Sarah Palin- they're terrified of
her and McCain running for president! Otherwise, who cares?
Interesting that the people bothered by attacks on Palin could care
less what others are saying about the Obamas. And I hate to break it
to you, kiddies, but you and your parents need professional
counseling for your bigoted hatred and a more effective education.
White trash smells. Or you're all sociopaths, like Mr. X.

Dylan review

As a musician, I can relate to the comment that dancing energizes the performer. They pick up on the energy and enthusiasm, and are inspired to give even more. As a listener/fan, I'd like to drop-kick some of these mindless, inconsiderable deadheads who block my view and disrupt my concentration and enjoyment. That's why I'm more likely to buy DVD's these days than pay a fortune to subject myself to that frustration. And, yes- it's true- as the journalist Al Aronowitz once said, Dylan is the Heavyweight Champion of the World.

American idiots

Chell Ess

23:13 PMOct 08 2008

It occurs to me reading some of these hate-filled idiotic, racist, sexist rants that as far as I'm concerned personally, "the Enemy" isn't necessarily a terrorist from another country, but a despicable, illiterate moron who thinks he or she is an American patriot because of his compulsive use of the word "liberal," which is acceptable to use as a weapon whereas the "N" word is not. MISTER-ALL-CAPS!!! Shut up!

Dylan

I can't wait to listen to the new CD's. The world is a better place with him still in it. There has never been anyone like him, and at his white-hot peak in the late 60's, he was completely untouchable. He's made some bad records, and his voice is more shot now than Satchmo's- but that's how he uses it- as a different instrument. A few years ago, I was watching him sing while on tour with Paul Simon. Simon came out and sang like Paul Simon. Dylan came out and altered every song. No way could Joan Baez do an impersonation of This Dylan! I was confused, a little disappointed. Then I realized that not only wasn't he trying to sound like Bob Dylan, he wasn't necessarily trying to limit himself to rock and roll or even the blues. What he was doing with his voice was what Miles Davis did with his trumpet. As I began to listen to what I now felt was more like jazz music, my expectations evaporated and I was absolutely mesmerized.

I love Paul, too- but Dylan made him look like a lightweight.

Get Smart

Sarah Palin- the Paris Hilton of politics, The female Dan Quayle, or
George Bush.

Nice goin', McCain. Real Maverick stuff! Except for one thing- is
being an idiot the same as being a "Maverick," or is being an idiot
being an idiot? More to the point- was selecting her putting country
first, or putting John McCain first? An act of desperation- or just
selfishness? How about stupidity? Would you believe- retarded?

Sorry about that, chief. Missed it by- That much!....

Get smart. Drop out. Drop her!

McCain cancels

Letterman was brilliant. This was the old Dave from NBC days. Point is, not only was he "Jilted," so's the country thanks to McJerk's straight-talking express diversion. As Obama said, a president very often has to do more than one thing at a time. They've got a media blackout on whacko Palin, and he's trying to weasel out of debates. As Olberman said- perfect opportunity to hear the two candidates talk about the economy. But McDufus "doesn't know much about the economy." So he has to run to Katie Couric.. er, Washington to fix it. If people can't see through this then I am as convinced as Bill Maher that there is no hope, that this country is predominantly filled with racist mongoloid idiots. This is fake-Christian-Deliverance, y'all. Believe it or not, if Obama loses, this is gonna hurt way, way more than the George W years. We may not even survive it.

Wanna kill

Seriously. Listen to this woman. Think about it. Sounds like she's still at the pageant, trying to answer questions about world peace. Might have to attack Russia. Well, we'd need a draft. Gonna bring McCain around to her way of thinking. She knows nothing. She lies, he lies. Supreme Court. China kicks our butts, buys our country, becomes the richest, most powerful country on earth because they're not throwing all their money into nation-building and they actually are required to go to school and learn science, science, science. It's not just gas! All we've got is Britney Spears and McDonald's. Back to the Stone Age. Us- not them. Just by voting Republican. It may be too late. We let Bush in twice- let's make the most disasterous decision we can this time, too! Palin- our new Superstar! She'll bite Russia in the butt with her pit bull teeth, level the entire Middle East with one imaginary hockey stick. They can then write a new New Testement- called, "The Last Temptation of America."

F-U Mac 360

I'm the Mac tech specialist for a local school district supporting nearly a thousand Macs, running both Tiger and Leopard. There have been no serious problems with 99% of them, hardware or software. Most often, there may be some "user error."

I haven't tried an iPhone or MobileMe. From what I've heard, HP is not the brand to buy if you want to buy a PC- Lennovo or Toshibas are much more reliable, hardware-wise. In my experience, both XP and Vista are nightmares, intrusive, annoying, unreliable.

I believe it is time for Kate to say goodbye to this site, she is becoming the John Dvorak of the internet. In fact, the companion Apple-bashing piece by Ron seems to be a piece driven by ego to justify a whole lot of recent whining, maybe to back up Kate's rant also.

It is my feeling that Apple is going through some significant growing pains, but even still, there's absolutely no contest between them and the competition. In fact, it never ceases to amaze me how any reasonable comparisons can be made, why anyone in their right mind would actually choose a Windows machine.

It is also important to remember that Windows Vista is given "a bad rap" mostly not by Mac users but those with much more extensive experience and involvement with the platform than the month Kate has spent with her HP. In my own school district, the 50% of computers running Windows have been downgraded to XP due to a variety of nightmarish scenarios, many of which persist because, well, Windows is Windows. Read the PC magazines and blogs- there is more Vista-bashing these days than Mac-bashing.

This site no longer serves a useful purpose- it is apparent that the two parties who remain have abandoned ship in a manner far more extensively than those who have merely disappeared. There is nothing positive to be gained here, nothing to be learned in an educational, inspiring, communal atmosphere that characterizes the best forums, be they print magazines or websites. There is only whining, complaining, justifications, misrepresentation, and temper tantrums. Exactly what you would expect from a teenager in a Mac-bashing blog.

I do not doubt the sincerity of the opinions and whining that has become Mac 360, but I cannot expect any meaningful objectivity at this point because it is so obvious to me, with my daily experiences with hundreds and hundreds of Mac users and Apple technology, that all that has been written here is so subjective as to be almost completely meaningless, so blown out of proportion and misrepresentative of the overall picture. Of course Apple has some problems- we are talking technology, after all. But the choice is clear- and it's Mac.

Please stop writing and either retire or sell the domain- on Craigslist.

Shut it down. And good luck with your HP's.

'Bye Mac 360

Sad. So it's come to this- articles supposedly posted August 15, 2008 or thereabouts followed by comments made much earlier?- looks like nobody's at the wheel at Mac 360. Your criticisms of Apple are harsh and way exaggerated. The commitment hasn't been there in a while, and it shows. Pull the plug- now. Keep your domain names. You have not only spit in the face of Apple the company, but in all of us who continue to have faith in its transition to greater success, in its growing pains, and who have followed Tera and her vision for Mac 360 all these years. I for one can no longer bear to return here and am deleting it from my bookmarks. Good luck on the Dark Side- true mediocrity is lack of vision and commitment. You failed this website, and you failed its readers. You have also dishonored its founder.

Jen and John?!?

I am from another planet but have learned to speak and write English in your country (please do not tell this man named Lou Dobbs).

In my country we do not have celebrities nor do we care what they do with their lives. We have artists, of course, and entertainers. All we care about is their work. If we want to focus on one using just one hand, we have special magazines and movies for that- the people involved are not famous because we consider that an invasion of privacy. Last, but not least- we are too busy enjoying what little time we have in this universe to waste it focussing on people we don't know and will never meet.

Have a nice day in Your corner of the universe.

The Shimmy

I guess I'm a different Mitch- don't know a bass player named Gary.

I was born in the Bronx 2/17/50. Not sure what time, but my father used to call me a vampire bat because even as a kid, I was a night owl. Only instead of reading, writing, playing guitar, drawing, or  (internet) surfing, I'd simply cry back then (colic).

I'm told I was upside down before I was born (I like to dive into water feet first, too - to avoid the belly flops), doctor straightened me out but had the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck three times. To this day, I hate wearing a necktie.

My earliest memory of music was my grandmother singing "Sugar in the Morning, Sugar in the Evening.." etc. Later, I heard "Hound Dog," and saw an album in my uncle's room that simply said "Elvis."

Pre-Elvis, there are 8mm films of me being coaxed by my grandmother to do the "shimmy." There's no sound in these films, just a room full of screaming, clapping, hysterical adults and the very confused look on a little kid's face as he did a very jerky, spasmodic impersonation of the King of Rock 'n Roll about 4 years before anyone ever heard of him. I was doing the shimmy, and they filmed me from the head on down.

I have a very vivid memory of what I was thinking- "Hell, I don't know what all the commotion is about, but if they're all so happy I'll keep doing this while I try to figure out what's going on!"

Then again, I have an equally vivid memory- not of trying to come out feet first or the umbilical cord- but the doctor slapping me on the butt, and me thinking "What the hell did I do?..."

What a shock!

I drew cartoons all over the place from age 4 on- in the sand, on paper, at school, in the dark...

In college I drew cartoons on my biology final and decided I wasn't gonna be a doctor, much to my grandmother's, and every single other ancestor's- horror.

In my sixth year, as an art major, I became fascinated by my roommate's guitar. Being a lefty, I turned it upside down and tried playing it flat down on my lap every chance I got when he wasn't around.

That's how I play guitar- horizontal, like a keyboard or slide.

I started playing along with every single Dylan and Beatles record I owned, then started writing my own songs a few years later.

I saw an album in my uncle's room that had the Byrds' Mr. Tambourine Man on it. My uncle pointed out a picture of Dylan on the back cover. I'd heard Peter, Paul, and Mary's Blowin' in the Wind. So I shoplifted the Highway61 album. My shoplifting career ended shortly afterwards when I got caught stealing a Wes Montgomery tape.

I bought Peter, Paul, & Mary's first album, and played it a million times. I always liked them, but that first album in particular, to this day, is hauntingly beautiful, and I think it's probably the best thing they ever did. This Train, Lemon tree- I seemed to favor the tunes where Paul Stookey sang lead (though years later I wasn't too fond of his "Wedding Song"). I always hated John Denver, I must admit- so I was very disappointed in "Leaving on a Jet Plane."

I loved "I Dig Rock 'n Roll Music," though, and have remained a fan ever since- thinking I should at least get the album "In the Wind," as it is probably the one closest to perfection as their first.

A few years ago, shortly before my mother passed away, I was driving her to Boston to see my brother and sister, and she'd complain about each of my album choices for the ride- until I slipped on Peter, Paul, and Mary's first. She fell into silence (unusual), mesmerized. We'd both heard this music before, but I remember feeling amazed how good it still was, how good it always had been. What incredible voices, harmonies, and songs!

Most of my playing has been with bands, doing cover tunes, Classic Rock, though I started with my brother doing just my songs.

Even my songwriting is dependent upon harmonies, though- whether I'm overdubbing on a sound-on-sound reel-to-reel tape recorder (long retired), multitrack cassette, or lately, DAW's. I always loved the Everly Brothers, Byrds, Simon & Garfunkel.

Sounds like you've had a lot of interesting experience, and I wish that I'd made it to Cafe Lena one of those times I knew they had Open Hike Night (see below).

"The Middle"

These faith-based groups are as alien to me as the terrorists- they just use different weapons. If that's the "middle," I'd rather be off the page.

C'mon, Obama- lot of people don't vote because the politicians all seem the same. That's not how you got where you are.

If that's what "America" is- religious fanatics wearing flag pins, self-titled conservatives, anti-semitic hypocritical homophobic sexually deviant racists in sheep's clothing singing "God Bless America," then I am ashamed of a lot more than President Bush coming from the Dixie Chicks' homeland.

Krassner on Carlin

The world is a lonelier place. George Carlin was irreplaceable- I too remember reading the Realist, llistening to Dylan, the Beatles, people like George Carlin who reminded me of Paul Simon's line "I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce."

Hard to figure out the truth anymore... I'm still searching. I look at Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann, never really sure. Does any musician nowadays come close, or are they simply naive? Am I naive? It's like looking for God- what do I know? I know nothing.

I had so much respect for George Carlin that I felt better about that.

Man created God in their own image- because the concept of Infinity and the true nature of Creation and the Meaning of Life is apparently beyond our comprehension.

The Bible is the greatest science fiction writings of all time, more imaginative than anything Asimov, Clark, Bradbury, or Burroughs ever dreamed of.God created both heterosexuals and homosexuals.

Rosie O'Donnell, like you, is a human being.

More bad grammar

  1. auramac on June 30th, 2008 at 2:14 pm:

    A pet peeve of mine, too. Everywhere I look, there are writers and journalists who don’t know how to spell. “Its” and the whole “your” thing drive me nuts- very confusing to read at times. The purpose of correct grammar and spelling is not to score a passing grade in elementary school English- it is to enable accurate communication and grammar.

    Especially “your”- as in “your mistake,” Not “your not spelling the word correctly!” “You’re (you are) not spelling the word correctly!!!

    No wonder the economy is going down the tubes… better educational systems in China and India, I suppose.

Paul sings John

Paul has done John tributes before, never a Day in the Life, though, I don’t think. It was doubly emotional seeing Yoko and Olivia together in the audience, with Yoko smiling when Paul went into Give Peace a Chance. His singing would probably be a bit better if he gave up the weed- but those who somehow get pleasure in ridiculing him for whatever reason are pretty pathetic, shallow, ignorant little snots. The joy Paul and that band has brought the world is absolutely immeasurable. You can cry tears of joy or sadness at almost anything left to hear from them.

Bo Diddley

I have Bo Diddley albums that cover all kinds of material- rock, blues, and, of course- Bo Diddley music. Like Chuck Berry- he could’ve written the same song a million times over and every one of them would be great. You never get tired of that beat. Seeing him while hearing him play was as surreal and intense as it gets. The man, the guitar, the maracas and band replaced your own eyes, ears, and heart when he played. Heart failure? The beat goes on- forever.

Hang seperately

I went to Hillary's site last night , as she suggested, to offer my opinion. I said I would've voted for Bill again if he could've served a third term. I was always an admirer of both Clintons. But it's time to unify the party behind Obama. Maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, but reading the comments of her supporters was very unsettling- more inarticulate and deranged than the most heated American Idol discussions. Yes, this is a passionate election, but the threats to vote for McCain and never, ever "that Obama" were startling. I hope Hillary isn't listening to these messages- or proud of them. Perhaps this sort of "passion" isn't limited to just her and her website, but John McCain- sorry- you know better, and I hate to say this- but I'm not sure I "trust" all of the American people. After all, Bush got in twice. And there is a lot of sexism and racism, spoken and unspoken that are big factors here. It's frightening. I live in NY State. I'd be scared to leave- it's relatively sane here- but not everywhere. Even in my own circles, I detect these very sins, unspoken, and rationalized among some acquaintances. One more thing- how is it that so many people can't spell?

Sex and the City

I'm not interested in the series or movie, and even less interested in dogs, I am repulsed by the smelly, drooling things. If you're a control freak in need of unconditional love, put Yo Mama on a leash.

Obsessed!

Sorry- I find tattoos so repulsive I'd love to take a blowtorch and obliterate them all. Cover up, people- please! Ugh...

One more thing- yes, it does hurt to look at them. It's the visual equivalent of nails on a blackboard. I also agree with Nathan's comments... this is a very odd sociological phenomenon years from now will have people scratching what hair is left on their unmarked heads. I don't care if you have a Master's Degree- you're an idiot if you mutilate yourself this way. "Beautiful?" Michelangelo would disagree...

Idiots

Still fuming as they dismiss it as a joke:

It's the most offensive thing I've heard Huckleberry say, though he's said a lot of stupid things. In fact, if you don't believe in science and think God talks to you personally, chances are you're mostly an unfunny idiot (like George W). This was the racist version of the Freudian slip McCain made- "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb bomb Iran." Only this time- it's "Someone's shooting at Obama." That's offensive no matter who he was talking about. This was doubly chilling.


You like these people? Wanna vote for them? Someone voted for Bush a few times.. guess we got what we deserved. I never dreamed he could've done so much damage. Want more, right-wing idiots?

Huckleberry blog response

Is it any surprise to the cretinous right-winged uneducated science-disbelieving racist- sexist- homophobic morons clutching flags or flag pins/paraphernalia that even such a failed joke could cross the mind of one of their own? Freudian slip. "Jokes" and words uttered under the influence of alcohol reveal much- I would never dream to make jokes about assassination or even think the words Mel Gibson screamed while drunk. In other words- no excuses.

And, in the end...

The school district just e-mailed me a lifetime pass to all events there (whoopee!) plus a $50 gift card for Crossgates Mall. Also, a copy of a speech I assume my old boss wrote and recited on their staff/retirees recognition day, which I chose not to attend.

It sounds like an obituary! Yeesh! Parts of it are very nice- the teachers, I've been told-
Did love me... I can tell my boss wrote this because he was clueless about a lot of things, especially me, and I hardly ever saw him, except at meetings, where you couldn't get a word in edgewise if you wanted to.

I've never been accused of being an extrovert, but the co-workers I liked and of course, the teachers, I don't think, had nearly the difficulty he had in "starting a conversation" with me. I was actually quite comfortable around most of the people in the school district- other than the boss and supervisor.
The "obituary" makes me sound like the epitome of the quiet computer nerd who can only talk and think technology.

Oh, yeah- it was more than 600 computers, and there were a lot of people involved too- who I advised, made recommendations to, broke the rules for, made house calls to help them with their home computers. It's odd that after 9 years I was the only one in the Tech Dept. who really knew anything about Macs (not my fault)- and they're still trying... (Luckily the teachers and some students took some initiative themselves..)

My replacement walked off the job after one month, and his replacement was just fired.

I'm pleased not to be there, I had a good run, and I'll consider this "obituary" a good reference for my next job:


"Mitch Sternbach

Mitch was loved by the people he worked with. He was quiet and competent and worked long hard hours to make sure the Macintosh computers in the District were working well. Mitch was our only Macintosh technologist and he maintained about 600 computers. Although it was tough to start a conversation with Mitch, when you engaged him in conversation you always left amazed by his depth of knowledge and understanding of how computers worked. When it was announced that Mitch was going on medical leave- everybody's first thought was "What are we going to do for Mitch?" not "How are we going to survive without Mitch fixing our computers?" Mitch was loved by the people he worked with. We wish him well."

Bush on Jessica curse

I think it's pretty obvious that George Bush is a moron.

I think it's pretty obvious that very young, or very under-educated people are morons.

And it's pretty obvious that many children of morons are morons themselves unless they break the cycle by going to school, doing their homework, seeing the world, and staying off drugs and moonshine.

And I had never been a huge Dixie Chicks fan, but I respect their (and OUR) freedom of speech, and man, was I surprised by how good their last album was!

And, no- Jessica should not dignify that idiotic remark with a response.

The "meaning" behind tattoos

The "meaning" behind tattoos is that people are so desparate for meaning and so empty spiritually that they have to mark themselves as if to get through an exam- in this case- your life. If you truly believe this gives your life more meaning and most of all, somehow makes you more unique, then what this means is that you are an aesthetically blind, ignorant moron. I pity those who feel the need to desecrate their God-given beauty and uniqueness, and in their deperate attempt to be cool or feel "meaningful," are in actuality perpetuating a shallowness and ignorance that cannot be erased by marking yourself. No "self-righteousness" here- the short answer is that the crap is ugly, always was ugly, and will be uglier still when your skin and everything else falls down. Do what you want- it's legal, unfortunately- but speaking just for myself- all tattoos repulse me and make me think less of those who would do this to themselves.

Jeezuz Christ!

Ah, yes, the Jesus Card. Now we must decide who to diss next: her, the competition, or the show itself. Or "those Americans" or "those Christians."

I have the sneaky suspicion that Carly won't be back because she simply had less people call on her behalf than the others. No one calls to vote someone off- you vote for "your favorite."

The Red Sea did not part when Carly sang. Of the remaining candidates, the audience didn't "like her best." That's all. No conspiracy- we don't need an investigative commission to get to the bottom of this.

(Good Lord, I'm still yappin' about American Idol!)

Thursday, April 24, 2008

AI

Considering the state of popular music today, I'm not surprised by idiotic opinions. Carly, quite simply, has a big mouth and no soul. Syeesha is no Melinda (last season)- her performance was charming but her voice is thin, pitchy, and grating. Jason needs to detox with some coffee. The two Davids, I must admit- are talented and "the ones to beat." However, like ALW, I'm a big fan of Brooke's- check out her studio recordings on iTunes, and ignore the stumble (which is not cool at this stage of the competition): she has the most affecting, soulful voice and doesn't need gimmicks, theatrics, or belting to move you (me).

Regarding the tattoos- I don't care how many people have them or where- they are painful to look at, demeaning to the natural artistry of the human body. Self-mutilation, a tacky, decadent expression of phony hipness that in actuality, for most people, is actually a form of conformity. K-Mart chic.

Roger Ebert

Whether you agreed with Siskel, Ebert, both, or neither, you'd have a good sense from watching that show whether or not to go see a movie. And watching them argue, I couldn't help but imagine how much they had in common and therefore must've respected about each other- their absolute love and passion for the movies. Roger has continued with his passion ever since, and if we can't watch him on TV (which I sorely miss), we can still read his still-brilliant thoughts and observations. Thank you, Roger Ebert, and wishing you good health and many more years At The Movies. As always- "two thumbs up!"

Idol 10

The hot blonde gets to stay. The tattooed arm that frightens me still has a great voice and was inexplicably in the bottom three. Huh? Probably because the others have bigger followings- it wasn't her performance.


But all three bottomers had attitude/defensiveness problems- maybe that turned people off. Amanda didn't need Simon's advice or Idol- she was playing to her imaginary fans. It would've been interesting to see if she could surprise... but I doubt it.

Many of them butchered the songs. Makes me wonder about the band and vocal teachers- leading people astray to find that "Idol Groove." The Beatles are the Master Class. Be adventurous, you better be damn good!

Political burnout

I think we're all burned out from this campaign. It's beginning to feel like silence would be better than hearing any further comment, observation, analysis, or especially bias. Even preference. I'm sick of it all- the candidates- the pundits- the debates, the coverage. SNL. I only know one thing for sure right now- I can't vote for a Republican. Forget "first black," "first woman," "first Depends-wearer," that's it. Obama could end up as an Eliot Spitzer- full of promise but ineffective. Both Hillary and McCain could end up as Bush2 on steroids. I've lost at least a little respect for each and everyone involved- the candidates- former heroes like Olbermann and Tim Russert- Tom Brokaw should raise his voice more instead of allowing Joe Scarborough to disrespectfully dismiss him as being "old-fashioned" for daring to voice the opinion- "enough analysis- let the people speak." I'm sick of hearing these ongoing voices. It's like being addicted to some terrible drug- watching CNN and MSNBC night after night. I need to go to Political Rehab and save my stomach.

"Worst person?"...

I thought Keith understood comedy- unless he's been desperately waiting for a perceived opening to criticize his imagined (rival?) John Stewart. The whole point of Stewart's remarks, to me, was to defuse this ridiculous issue about Obama's name. With Ann Coulter- it is racial profiling. The Stewart joke was simply funny, and illustrated how childish the whole issue is. It was one of the funniest, silliest moments of the night. I don't get it, Keith- does this prove to Fox you're an equal-opportunity pundit? Lighten up, lay off the sports competitive violence for a while, watch a few Stooges movies..

TMZ's "Member them?"....

What a setup- you guys publish the most extreme before and after pictures possible- throw in phony complimentary adjectives like "ravishing," knowing full well that the difference between youth and age is shocking, sometimes heartbreaking- then sit back, probably laughing your butts off as people have a debate between the blind and the cruel.

Pol Blogs

It's hard to know what to believe- the TV pundits aren't objective. No one is, and there's so much hatred and nastiness that from the sound of it, we'd better not vote for anybody. This country has become like a bunch of rabid dogs looking to tear down anyone and anything that we have no use for- politicians, celebrities, other people's beliefs and values. It's a spectator sport- Britney is Hillary is Obama is Paris is Bush and on and on.

Also-


Any tattoo would be the first red flag for me that that person is an
absolute bimbo-mongoloid idiotic- moron.
And quite trashy, too!
