Here’s the girl you just added to your “friends” list, have given you cell phone # to, and told her that she looks “hot”!
Enjoy!

For those who have never visited Jacqueline Passey’s blog she is a Libertarian, Sci-Fi Fan Girl, with a degree in Economics and a fairly large following. She has also recently broken up with her boyfriend professional poker player Terrence Chan.
The breakup has apparently lead to a large number of unwanted relationship proposals […]

In the past week we have had:
1. Alleged sock puppetry by prominent liberal blogger Glenn Greenwald. (Details Here, Here, and Here)
2. Blogwars involving Ace of Ace of Spades over the alleged sock puppetry with Paul at Wizbang and Dale and McQ at Q and O. Paul has announced he is leaving […]

In yet another case of science undoing the modern notion of no differences between sexes, researchers have noticed brain wave disparity in the way that men/women view the punishment of cheaters. In short, men love it, women not so much. How many times have you seen some version of this discussion between a man and […]

Yesterday North Korea launched 7 missles, one of them an ill-fated ICBM that blew up 45 seconds after launch. Today South Korea announced that North Korea is readying more missles for launch, at the same time a UN Security Council resolution introduced by Japan was blocked by Russia and China.

I went to see the movie Cavite yesterday, and that is what brings up the question above.
The storyline of Cavite consists of a Filipino-American of Muslim background returning to the Phillipines for his father’s funeral to discover his mother and sister have been kidnapped by Abu-Sayyaf (the local Al-Qaeda affliate). In order […]

A quick shout out to the cast of “SMS Dispatches from Vegas,” our lame attempt at an online reality show with Hagar, Stallion and Dirk. Tonight Hagar lost the $4,000 he had spread over several combinations of Heat over Mavs and the “over.” None of these came in though if Shaq had hit a […]

Ending our hopes of a real life “smokin’ hot women in prison” enactment, LA Observed notes that actress Michelle Rodriguez was released after serving just four hours and twenty minutes of a sixty-day sentence for violating probation. Not exactly hard time and most likely not a single group shower or a chance for a melee […]

I’m not sure what it is about Ferrari drivers but at this rate there won’t be many of them left. If you haven’t heard, another idiot in a sports car killed himself in a single car crash in the Santa Monica Mountains. This time it was a Ferrari Testarossa in Agoura Hills, which adjoins Malibu.

Update: The President’s speech just ended. The plan he outlined seemed reasonable to me, especially in that it tracked almost exactly with what I have been advocating. As I suspected the National Guard is not to be used for enforcement activity. The people who want to build a fence between the […]

Well it has been four days since the “Day without labor” and I have been waiting anxiously for some company to declare bankruptcy or some government official to place some bad economic news at the foot of the protesters. So far it hasn’t happened. I have the feeling that most people had […]
