The Really, Really Free Market

Ah, anarchy. You get such a bad rap, when really you have so much in common with conservatives! Or at least these guys. Ain’t that a thing, huh?
Most people just think of anarchists as dirty people who live in squats and smell and throw homemade firebombs through the windows of 7/11s. Ok well, that’s [...]

Ride That Bull!

The Professional Bullriders Assocoation came to town recently, so I decided to check them out.
Magically, they also held a mechanical bullrider charity competition for any media person dumb enough to want to try it. Naturally, I signed up – anything for charity!
I chose St. Jude’s because I’ve been affected by the awfulness that is [...]

Know Your Trend

If you know anything about me, you know that I absolutely hate stupid fashion trends. Not, like, low-rise jeans or other new cuts of clothes, but, like, trucker hats. Gaucho pants. Remember how everyone in the world had to have a poncho a couple of falls ago? WTF? That was just dumb.
And now, ladies and [...]

Screw Politics

Every country has their political system set up. Some have one party, some have two, some have many. Here in the US, our two main parties – Democrats and Republicans – are intent on demolishing each other. Honestly, the way they both attack each other makes me hate them both. I just simply do not [...]

Kids Suck!

I keed, I keed! Mostly! The title of this video should really be, “Toy Fair 2010,” but I went with something that seemed a little more appropriate to my line of questioning. SO…yeah…I went to this year’s Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC, and it was AWESOME. I’m not sure how they [...]

NYC Blizzard Does Not Disprove Climate Change

Many people think that, because it SNOWED for a day in FEBRUARY in New York City, global warming is a farce. Most of those people are conspiracy theorists. Some of them are confused. And some of them have high-profile jobs in the media. Unlike me, who just ekes out a living trying to find some [...]

As Seen on TV

I’m not sure if the horrible infomercial is just an American phenomenon or not, but here in the US we sure do have some commercial doozies.
The Snuggie. The Be-Dazzler. Ginsu Knives. Urine gone. Yes, Urine Gone!
Sometimes the products look so great! And the prices are always insaaaaaaaaaaanely awesome! How can you resist?
Well, one product really [...]

Bin Laden, Al Gore Supporter

This is my latest piece for RT. Osama Bin Laden is back in the news these days, talking about climate change this and I’m-responsible-for-the-Christmas-Day-bombing-that-failed that. Do you care anymore what this cave-dwelling bearded man has to say? Does anyone? Let’s find out together, in sub-degree weather in Times Square, shall we?

10 Years of Video: Happy Anniversary, Me!

Web video might be all the rage now, but I’ve been doing it for TEN YEARS. I know – I’m as amazed as you! I first hit the streets in January in the year 2000, and my very first bit was asking people what an mp3 was. AND MOST PEOPLE DIDN’T KNOW. I did it [...]

Gimme My Gun!

One of the things I like to do on my vaguely-alternative news show here is to try something for the first time, ever, out on camera. Kind of like those dumb reporters who get tazed whenever the police taze someone. I won’t be doing THAT anytime soon!
One thing I had never, ever done until I [...]
