Get Your Dunkin Thursday

It's not Friday! WTF? I feel like I wake up every single Thursday in this fashion; baffled that the week is not over. So what now? RAGE!! Well not really at this time I am feeling copacetic. Insanity is almost done, one more hell week and the lady and me are bbq this weekend. So that is fun. Not sure what else is going on as at this very moment I am drawing a blank. I had something to RAGE about, just ain't coming through the keyboard this morning sioejhgslehgiowHGOQWGQJIEOQJHEGS,MDNBVJLRW!!!!!!! There that's better! Here are your highlights: Tax Policies & Priorities . Anyone not paying attention, the GOP doesn't care about your plight. Fox Nation too race baity for its own trolls Chicago 5 year old killed by own twin Way back when fighters like Chad Dawson would be as big as any of them Blago Trial Hung? The economy is getting better! Oh wait... The disgusting and unconscionable writing of propagandist Jeffrey Goldberg Chow!

Sullivan on Israel and Gaza

Sully seems to be reading Frank Chow : And let's not delude ourselves: the reason so many of us find the policy toward Gaza repellent is that it is quite obviously an attempt to collectively punish the people of Gaza for voting for Hamas, and then for lobbing missiles after Israel's withdrawal. That was the element of the 2009 war that was so horrifying to those of us on the outside, and that is why this blockade, designed to maintain total control over 1.5 million people (and to benefit various Israeli economic sectors), is so disconcerting. And it is, of course, self-reinforcing. Has the war and the blockade hurt the idea of Hamas? Au contraire. It has legitimized it. When you end up killing civilians to prevent access to toys and wheelchairs, you have lost any desire to win the war of ideas and have retreated instead to the logic of force. The Bush-Cheney administration is, in other words, alive and well ... and in Jerusalem, and backed by the opposition, because it is b...

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

So Butler lost. Barely, but they did lose. Sad day for us Duke haters and an awesome day for people who where sweaters tied around their neck and thrown over their shoulders on purpose. Sigh. Last night I had a show where I decided to make up my entire set! Fun fun fun. I must say one of the days I will sit down and write something. Tomorrow is a big day for Chicago film as the annual Asian American Showcase highlights "Local Shorts." If you are in town and looking to have a great night, visit the site and get some tickets . I will be there in my snazziest wear. Here are your highlights: Tragedy in West Virginia , 25 killed in coal mines and four still missing The Republican Party is now in an "Era of Craziness" Nintendo in Graphics Is Karzai playing with Fire? Who can't wait for this trainwreck? Season 2 of Jersey Shore begins shooting GTL!!! Another "big business pays high taxes" Mythbusted As the Wikileaks video of Iraq/Reuters reports incident was...

Get Your Dunkin Thursday

Yesterday was an interesting one to say the least. I had my call back for some unnamed tv show. It went okay until the part where me and some other guy were supposed to improv a "discussion" about a topic. As we began the dude went into his routine. Literally every word that came out of his mouth was like scripted Vince Vaughn-esqe stuff. So much for working together, having a discussion or you know improv-ing. Oh well it served him well as you can't fault a guy for sticking to his guns. It was only my third call back of this magnitude, so I would chalk it up to a good learning experience. Never expect the other guy to be a team player, lesson learned. The lady is still fighting a cold. We are going to be keeping it chill tonight and probably the rest of the weekend. I might try to bball this weekend and cough out whatever I have left from my cold last week. All in all. Yesterday was weird, tiring and glad the weekend is around the corner. Here are your highlights: Don...

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c Conservative Libertarian www.thedailyshow.com Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Health Care Reform This will probably my only post of the day unless something monumental happens. I decided to stay home and finally just chill out in my coldness. Throat is scratchy, fatigued, but manageable. I have come to the conclusion if I just keep overdosing on Vitamin C eventually my immune system will win the battle. On another note John Stewart really out did himself here. He goes on for a good ten minutes in one of the best satirical comedic routines I have seen in a long time. When all this is said and done. When Glenn Beck finally is put on local cable access where he belongs. We all will have John Stewart to remind us sane people, everything eventually works itself out. Here are your highlights: Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Who is in play in the Health Care Bill talks The Tax Tea Party doesn't understand taxes. ..embracing ignorance ...

Roberts STFU

Chief Justice Roberts is whining . He doesn't like the White House and many peons of Congress disagreeing with his activist court. I will echo DougJ, STFU . But here is what Roberts also did by expressing his "opinion" (which he already expressed through the majority opinion) he admitted he is a right wing hack. If I were a conservative trying to push a cause whether it be; abortion, gun rights (already cooking), gay marriage, entitlements and whatever the hell has been bothering me, I would bring it in front of this Supreme Court. The most ludicrous arguments have a chance. It is any wonder the right wing was inflamed by Sotomayor, they like their advantage. Glenn Greenwald : Supreme Court Justices, in particular, have awesome, unrestrained power. They are guaranteed life tenure, have no authorities who can sanction them except under the most extreme circumstances, and, with the mere sweep of a pen, can radically alter the lives of huge numbers of people or even transfo...

Get Your Dunkin Tuesday

Drinking Liberally tonight and it is going to be a barn burner. Or maybe just a bunch of nerds and dorks discussing the latest in internet trends. Meh. We will see. I am excited though, I missed DL the last time because I was soaking up the sun in San Diego. The lady and I have been plotting are next trip already. Spring forward happens this weekend, it is supposed to hit 50 in Chicago sooner than later and DAMNIT I AM READY! I need to be on a boat relaxing with my lady. I need to be speeding about in a smaller boat while sipping a domestic. I need. I need. I need summer and people dancing down the streets with me while I wear a sweater vest. Here are your highlights: Fired up and ready to go . Obama stumping for Health Care, yet again. "If not now, then when?" The Washington Post has slowly but surely become god awful. The high standards there are unfathomable. Boxing Round Up , Pac-Monster this weekend Stop this b.s. it lacks any kind of rationale and I can't stress th...

Get Your Dunkin Friday

Blackest fuggin Night . Thanks to a buddy of mine I finally have it in my hands issues 1-7 and I can't wait to jump in. Geoff Johns has yet to steer me wrong, so I am pumped! Excited! Loud noises! The lady and I had a great anniversary dinner last night. Although we were disappointed with the margs. What's with the banana flavor Caesar? Seriously I have been a loyal fan for quite some time, however if this continues I might just have to go BYOB on your ass. You hear me!?! (insert more rage here). So this weekend I am back at the performing thing. Took a little time off. Winter sucks for shows. If you want deets hit me up! Here are your highlights: Chicago Bears are starting the free agency market off blazing Students are fed up in California, Protest! What are they thinking? The Obama administration is thinking of reversing on civilian trials and it is absolutely unacceptable. This is just politically weak and good ole fashioned Dem cowardice. Party!

Dude You Got Nothing on Michelle Obama

I don't really recall reading scathing opinions directed towards Laura Bush and her reading initiative . After a Google search, I couldn't find anything let alone a piece quite as hackish as Paul Campos' clear attack on Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative : What Michelle Obama is doing this week is launching the next big government “war” on a supposed social crisis. On Tuesday, President Obama signed an executive order directing government agencies to work with private industry to combat “childhood obesity.” The First Lady took to the airwaves, issuing dire warnings that one third of America’s children are dangerously fat, while launching a website which makes the alarming claim that, “for the first time in our history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents.” The goal of the campaign, Mrs. Obama emphasized, is to “eliminate this problem of childhood obesity in a generation.” All this is dangerous nonsense. The res...

Wait the Olympics is a coming ey? To Vancouver ey? Man, how did I miss one of the lamest get togethers of non-sport activities ey. Luging, curling, bobsledding, figure skating, skiing and speed skating, ey!!! Does one of these also including rifles...ey? Can't wait for the opening ceremonies though, they always seem to be a trippy version of Disney's Epcot center. I think the lady and I are going to drink warm cider, wear our North Face and run down the halls in skii boots and spandex. Sounds like a solid plan, ey. The best way to celebrate the Winter Olympics is to well join in ey! Here are your highlights: Bought Sold and Proud of It : Congress and bankers a love story More "lowered expectations" from the White House on jobs , wonder if they will do something about that... SPEAKER MADIGAN HAS SPOKEN , just get rid of the Lt. Governor altogether At your desktop is the Mouse dead? Washington Post = the Washington Village . I can officially say that the WaPo is dead t...
