Almost certainly, this week’s unnamed honoree is going to wind up on next year’s Darwin Award list, being the architect of his own demise. Seems a 30 year old guy from London’s West End was arguing with a female friend, around 2:00 a.m., when the argument turned violent. So violent, in fact, that Mr. Mental [...]

With football season once again upon us, what better way to kick things off (so to speak) than to find an NFL numbskull for the Moron of the Week dishonors? This week, new Buffalo Bills wideout Terrell (Team Cancer) Owens managed not only to put himself in the media crosshairs by being part of the [...]

Christopher Kurt Hoffman came to my attention this week after he got into an altercation (if you can call it that) with an 81 year old Florida woman who won’t be named here. This guy’s 24 years old, goes six-foot-one, and arrived at his ex-wife’s house to pick his children up for visitation last week, [...]

I watch very little TV. Usually, it’s regulated to catching up on HOUSE when the season’s ended and Pam’s DVR’d the whole run so we can watch without commercials, and the NFL season and some NHL games. So it took me a couple days to catch up with the controversy over Artie Lange’s appearance on [...]

While it would be relatively easy to simply blast away at the current administration for any number of idiotic moves, this week’s slightly narrower in focus. While the fish-in-a-barrel pot-shot would be the inability of the administration’s press dept. to spell the President’s name correctly, or the word ‘recovery,’ or ‘stimulus,’ etc., the real target [...]

**UPDATE**

Unlike Michelle McKee and Corey Mitchell (editor and founder of ICB, respectively), I’m not averse to fixing information I know to be factually incorrect. Call it having integrity as a writer, call it a preference for having the facts straight, or even just a desire to be right. Despite McKee’s claims on her twitter account [...]

When your ass is on the line and you’re staring at the remainder of your worthless life being spent behind the walls in an eight by eight cell, you’ll probably consider doing just about anything to avoid being found guilty and hearing the sound of the bars slamming shut behind you for good.

Just about anything, [...]

Since this has been a big weekend for football fans, it’s only fitting that the M.o.t.W. comes out of the myriad of sideline stories and footnotes to the Giants’ monumental upset of the would’ve-been unbeaten New England Patriots.

Friday night, less than a day after arriving in Phoenix for the big game, New York Giants [...]

As William Shakespeare once penned, What’s in a name? This week, methinks that The Bard would simply jot with his quill: everything. While the actual act isn’t as egregious as some past offenses (such as cutting off your own penis and throwing it at police officers coming to arrest you or being caught voting for [...]

This year starts off where I am sure a lot of peoples’ years start off—with folks taking advantage of some of the gizmos and gadgets that have flooded out in recent months, designed to make life simpler. Now, while I don’t profess to be a Luddite, ever since losing my eyesight I’ve been loathe to [...]
