Daily Gut: Return the Gifts
Christmas always reminds me of the time I discovered there was no Santa Claus. I woke up around 1 a.m., and wandered from my bed into the living room where I found my dad in his pajamas laying out presents

So many in the media are delighting in the stupidity of the “Jersey Shore” cast. Just recently, Jay Leno had them on a quiz bowl, and the audience – buoyed by their own perceived superiority – chortled at their various
Every circus needs a clown, but sometimes it takes a clown to tell the truth. And so we have Hugo Chavez, the pockmarked prince of all things petulant – paying a visit to the Climate Change conference to rousing, delirious
So the Climate Change Summit is collapsing faster than an Ikea dresser, as everyone realizes you can’t pull off the world’s biggest bank heist in broad daylight. Thank God Prince Charles has arrived, however, to tell us how the rest
No Gregalogue today, but here’s a clip from the show with Ann Coulter and Steven Crowder!: [youtube _9lHXqbks8Y nolink] Tonight‘s awesome line-up: the great John Gibson! the delightful Juliet Huddy the awesome Carrie Keagan! the fierce and incisive Congressman Steve
So I came across a lot of people who thought Obama’s speech last week in Norway was pretty nifty. And by “a lot of people,” I mean my mom, and by “nifty” I mean “not stinky.” To me, the speech
No Gregalogue today, but here’s a clip about the Newsweek article blaming sad movies on Bush! Take a look, take-a-lookers: [youtube MN75my7xIz8 nolink] Tonight’s Guests: Ann Coulter, Professor Marc Lamont Hill, Steven Crowder, and Father Jonathan. (yeah, that’s a show!)
So last Monday’s Gregalogue on the Climate Change conference caused a flurry of emails. Well, not really a flurry. More like twelve. But if climate change apostles can exaggerate facts, why can’t I? Anyway, I got one missive, which I
So Politico.com has a sad story concerning the White House Holiday Party – an event that usually allows reporters to skulk around the White House and get their pics taken with the President. But shockingly, things may be different this
So Joy Behar had writer Andrew Sullivan on her show to discuss Sarah Palin, and by “discuss,” I mean drag her through the mud by her pony tail. My favorite part was when Behar describes Sarah’s “people” as “evil and
So while Copenhagen airport expects up to 140 extra private jets during the Climate Change summit, everyone else in the eye of the global warming storm is circling their solar-powered wagons. Predictably, New York Times says those Climategate emails reveal
Bonus!: Here’s a clip of me and a guest fighting over global warming: [youtube NB_oADVC_FQ nolink] Guests: the delightful Barret Swatak the delectable Jill Dobson the determined Andrew Breitbart! and the wonderful actor Joel David Moore Plus – my mom!
Now, there’s something very troubling about the couple who snuck into that White House dinner – and it’s not just their “Easy-Bake oven” hair, or their beady, heat-seeking eyeballs. No – it’s something else… and that something else makes me
So, President Obama’s speech wasn’t a bad one, but it wasn’t a great one either. If anything, it reminded me a little of Osama bin Laden’s speech – the one where he told us exactly when he was going to
So last week I told you about the scandal at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit. There a hacker revealed confidential emails exposing attempts by global warming apostles to manipulate embarrassing info that countered their warming claims. These
So, Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for one of the accused terrorists behind 9/11, has announced that the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it.” So basically, it’s
So apparently Sarah Palin sold over three hundred thousand copies of her book in one day – and as you can guess – they were all purchased by racists. At least, that’s what the sociology professors over at MSNBC Community
So “Organizing for America,” which used to be called “Obama for America,” held a contest to create an ad for health care reform. And they asked “you,” to contribute your ideas. Of course, when they said “you,” they really didn`t
So yesterday, the British magazine The New Scientist published an article titled, “How Reputation Could Save the Earth.” In it, the writers argue that information about your carbon footprint should be made public – because knowledge of your misdeeds might
So President Obama says he’d like to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki – something no sitting U.S. president has ever done. Of course, there’s a reason they haven’t: it could be seen as criticism of a painful decision that ended the
And that’s the drill: concern over crimes that have never happened, as opposed to the terror that has. So, denying the role militant Islam played in the Fort Hood atrocity is like staring at a shark bite and thinking, “bicycle.”
So Roland Emmerich’s new movie is called “2012,” but it should be titled “Dude, Where’s my Balls.” In the flick, the director enlists every CGI trick in the book to destroy various religious icons- including the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s
So over at Depaul University – allegedly a college – students and faculty are up in hairy arms over the denial of tenure to Melissa Bradshaw, a professor of “women’s and gender studies.” In case you don’t know what tenure
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act, which by some weird circumstance also includes hate crime legislation. Now, I’m no fan of hate. Hate in all forms is ugly, even when performed by beautiful people (that’s a shout out
So Valerie Jarrett was interviewed by CNN’s delightful Campbell Brown at something called “the Women’s Conference.” There Jarrett rags on Fox News for distortions, which is her word for “bringing up stuff that we wish you wouldn’t bring up.” Now
Normally I don’t like making fun of Columbia journalism students, because it’s like shooting fish in a barrel, if the barrel were full of Columbia journalism students. And that would be very wrong. But when I saw this video, I
So a dude at the UN named Martin Scheinin filed a report calling for a trashing of our current counter-terrorism policies. The new plan, he believes, should “abandon the ‘war paradigm’” and “enshrine the principles of gender-equality and non-discrimination…” Among
[youtube 3SapLkwlO7Q nolink] Awesome beer chugging contest yesterday, in case you missed it. Bill won. Norm lost. Kind of amazing. Tonight’s Guests: Rick Leventhal! Jill Dobson! Congressman McCotter! Dr. Michael Baden!
So last Saturday I spoke at UC Berkeley, my alma mater. The city itself is as delightful as ever – a mix of fall leaves, bright sun and tramp feces. And with that combination of serene elements, I can’t think
So, fresh from their previous idiocy analyzing Saturday Night Live, CNN has now turned their goofy gaze toward talk radio, in a series of segments designed to examine the psychology behind a phenomenon that gives them fits. In short, they
So the White House is ticked off at Fox News. So much so, they’re saying bad things about us behind our back. Last night, after work, I found a bag of soiled underpants in my locker, and for once, it
So sometimes, these Gregalogues write themselves. I speak tonight of Al Sharpton, who just attacked Rush Limbaugh’s attempt to buy the St. Louis Rams (I believe it’s tetherball), sending a letter to commissioner Roger Goodell, saying the wildly popular conservative
So on an ABC webcast, Charlie Gibson tossed to a U.S. intelligence report that suggests global warming is helping the Taliban and al Qaeda. The logic: temperatures rise, droughts continue, folks are desperate – and lo and behold, they become
So President Barack Obama said he was surprised that he won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize – making him the only person on earth who was surprised that he won the 2009 Nobel Peace prize. I’d like to say that
It amounted to breaking news for CNN`s Wolf Blitzer: Saturday Night Live doing a skit, in which they skewer Barack Obama. It was a concept so profoundly distasteful, that it left Wolf incredulous – worse than when he was humiliated
So while chuckleheads like Jesse Jackson and Senator Roland Burris hilariously blame George Bush for Chicago losing the 2016 Olympics, whiny columnists like Mike Lupica are up in arms that conservatives might be gloating over President Obama’s big screw-up. Apparently
So David Letterman just admitted on his Thursday show that someone had been blackmailing him for $2 million. That someone apparently claimed he had information on the comic doing “creepy things.” Instead of paying up, however, Letterman set him up
So the U.S. and Iran just had what’s been called “significant” talks concerning Tehran’s nuclear plans. The goal for us, was two fold: to get Iran to “shift course,” and to prove President Bush was an idiot for not negotiating
So Roman Polanski is in hot water, again – but this time it`s not at Jack Nicholson`s house. Instead, he`s in a Swiss jail, and Hollywood is desperately trying to come to his rescue. Woody Allen, Debra Winger and Whoopi
Now if you’re like me, you know children are evil. They’re thieving, selfish creatures whose primary agenda includes spreading germs and smearing mucous on your belongings. So naturally you’d think I`d be in favor of President Obama`s plan for longer
