Thanks, But No Thanks

Jan 31st, 2009 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

President Obama is working way too hard. Honestly it’s making the rest of us look bad. I just wish he understood how it feels to get out of bed at noon, flip open the paper, and see a picture of him signing stuff. Nobody ever asks me to sign anything; least not since my credit card got … [continue]



Magical Internet Supplies Classic TV

Jan 28th, 2009 | By Leslie Fox | Category: News

I’m sure all of you are familiar with the internet’s ability to supply video. I thought I’d list this link because A) it’s actually legal, B) the video quality is pretty good, and C) it’s a really good show that would be hard to find elsewhere. That’s right, I’m talking about 1967’s “The Prisoner” staring the recently deceased Patrick McGoohan and … [continue]



Let’s Help The Mets!

Jan 22nd, 2009 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Toxic Eye Candy

Some baseball teams actually care about uniform accessories. The New York Mets are no such team. Recently the Amazins unveiled a breathtakingly primitive logo to celebrate their inaugural season in the newly built Citi Field (or “Shitty Field”– as it has promptly been dubbed in Philly). The logo appears to have been designed by a three-year-old with a basic understanding … [continue]



Chocolate Hollywood and the Age of Me: The Mix

Jan 22nd, 2009 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: Unhealthy Living

Since turning thirty, I’ve been on a steady diet of a miracle food known as the “Tastykake Chocolate Jr.” and a TV show called “Californication”. [Obligatory Synopsis Warning] “Californication” is about a dysfunctional writer, Hank Moody, (played by David Duchovny) who moves to LA from the Big Apple, only to be estranged from his pseudo-wife, child and … [continue]



History Watch: Obama’s Transitional Government

Jan 20th, 2009 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Political Pinions

As we enter the closing days of what has become a controversial pre-administration the time come to take history’s first passing glance at what has just transpired. On November fourth, 2008 President-elect Barack Obama won the national election. It’s hard to believe, but a child born on that day would already be almost three months old, and … [continue]



Guy Who Likes Obama on Inauguration Speech

Jan 20th, 2009 | By Leslie Fox | Category: News

There are times when as an unpaid, unprofessional blog satirist I need to step back from my civic duty of throwing paper airplanes at the chalkboard and simply take a moment as it is. Such a time was today during President Obama’s inauguration speech. All through the pre-event coverage I heard voters interviewed, “What do you want … [continue]



Receiving Me? Weather

Jan 18th, 2009 | By Leslie Fox | Category: News

An extended despondency front has moved in over the Delaware valley. The weather system is likely to be characterized by impotent rage storms and blessed blackouts and looks to remain in place until March. Residents are urged to remain indoors and direct their football related complaints to Loki, god of deceit and terrible NFC championship performances. Under no circumstances … [continue]

One of these Quarterbacks is headed to the NFC Championship.  See if you can guess who. (Hint: the one on the right is Eli Manning.)



The Future Was Bright

Jan 9th, 2009 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Literary Ether

It seems like just yesterday that the future was a place you wanted to be. A marvelous tomorrow-land where all disease and inconvenience would be banished to museums and the third world. Yes, the tomorrow of our forefathers was a marvelous place, a perfect society were families would gather around the touch-screen and dig in to nutrient hampers laden with Pseudo-Turkey®, AlmostCorn©, and Valeriatatos™. Mother and Father would look on with pride as… [continue]

Jan 8th, 2009 | By Leslie Fox | Category: Athletic Support

Perhaps the most hotly contested devisional round playoff game will be this Sunday’s meeting of the New York Football Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. The two teams played twice during the regular season, each team winning on the road. By now you’ve heard all the experts’ opinions; so we asked a few of the fans what they think about … [continue]
