The iPhone 4 is undeniably sexy, and I’m quite sure that I want one. But is it worth retiring my reliable, three-year old original iPhone in order to upgrade? On its face, all the features of iPhone 4 put my aging but unfailingly trusty iPhone to shame. A beautiful new design, the smokin’ A4 processor, [...]
I may cringe at every episode featuring Peter, but there’s no denying that Family Guy—when it focuses on Stewie and Brian—is still effin’ hilarious. Case in point: the slightly-scared, slightly-concerned look of apprehension that Stewie is giving Brian, who’s projectile-vomiting after learning he had sex with a transsexual.

I’m itching to see these [...]
Every passing day gives me another reason to be disappointed in our president and our government. Not, mind you, because Barack Obama too “liberal” or “socialist” or “fascist” or “communist” or any other nonsensical and insupportable-by-reality slur but because, quite to the contrary, he has ushered in what seems to me a stunted, overly-measured, carefully [...]

I’m pretty pissed that my senator—a representative of Massachusetts, no less—supports torturing prisoners, opposes health care reform, opposes cap-and-trade, opposes gay marriage, opposes reproductive rights for women… We gave the Republicans eight years to run our country into the ground, and now we’re pissed at the Democrats because they haven’t fixed all the damage in [...]
No introduction. Just listen: There was a house halfway ’round the world And I was invited in for a small taste of gin There was a hallway a thousand birds long But the biggest one of all was in a cage too small I asked the caretaker cuz he was the maker Looked at me [...]
If this song doesn’t get your foot tapping, your hands clapping, and your voice at least a little bit sore, you may want to check your pulse. “The Late King Henry,” a lovely singalong tune by Toronto’s The Wooden Sky, deftly blends folk, country, and indie rock to make a song about as fun as [...]
I’m looking down, come help me up And stumbling around trying to fill my cup It’s half empty, been that way all my life So come pour some in and take me out tonight The sun is shining but we stay inside (oh, but we go out at night) We stay in looking for a [...]
