An Album Review

Today I will briefly review the new Boards of Canada album, which is called Tomorrow’s Harvest. It’s great. Kind regards, Greg  

Gut Check: Race Poker

Last week on The Five, I observed that the race card had been replaced by race poker. I see your “Trayvon Martin” and I raise you a “Delbert Belton.” (I don’t dare play poker–I’m too terrified–but I assume this comparison

Violations

Re: today’s latest outrage per the NSA. I wonder about those who are upset over thousands of programming errors among hundreds of millions – while being perfectly fine with Stop and Frisk.  That level of hypocrisy hasn’t been matched since

Gut Check: Rung Out to Dry

We’ve got problems. Serious ones. We’ve heard enough about rates of single parenthood among whites and blacks. For most of us, this is not news. The residue from the feel-good 1970s was more toxic than realized. What we once saw

How to Debate National Security Without Having to Debate National Security

STEP ONE:  Lump all NSA programs under the umbrella  “spying on Americans.” STEP TWO: After someone explains exactly what the programs do, from metadata gathering to monitoring international communications, you simply say “Where does it all end?” STEP THREE: Work

Gut Check: Fear of Facts

One thing I noticed throughout the Martin/Zimmerman story cycle: the “opinion/fact” mutation. As more facts are introduced into the mix, opinions don’t disappear after being proven wrong, they simply mutate. We’ve seen this with other issues and debates: global warming,

Where's Lee Marvin?

As President Obama lines up assorted celebrities to promote health care (if by celebrities, we mean Michael Cera and Kal Penn),  it serves to remind us how creepy celebrities can be in their willingness to serve the powers that be.

Rolling Stone Piece — in 50 Seconds

So I just read the Rolling Stone piece with the shitbag on the cover. It’s long, but i can summarize it for you: “Wow, here’s a really good looking cool kid who loves to smoke weed (a lot — isn’t

Gut Check: The Swarm

Lions on the web, and lambs on the street. So last week some conservative website posted a photo of a beloved conservative. When some readers saw that the picture was doctored, they tweeted an angry alarm (which is what you

A Valentine to the Avalanches

Damn, I’m old.   It’s been nearly 13 years ago that an album was released by an Australian group, in Australia, that has brought me nothing but pleasure every single day since then. The band was called the Avalanches, and the

Gut Check: Looking Out for the Big Guy

Since I am considered by many to be a “little guy,” you’d think I’d always be “looking out” for him–the proverbial little guy. You could not be more wrong. The little guy bugs the crap out of me.  But let

Peep Show – Must See

Last night I went digging around for season 8 of Peep Show on Hulu, and found it – a splattering of six blissfully evil episodes of this British series that will dig into your brain and stay there. If you’ve

Peep Show – Must See

Thank You, General Alexander

It’s about time America had the intel hearing, and were told about these prevented bomb plots. Fact is, we needed some adults in the room, to clarify exactly what we’ve been arguing about. For the past two weeks, people were

Gut Check: Evil Dreams Big

Evil never takes a holiday; in fact, it capitalizes on them. Evil sees a busload of tourists as a piñata it would like to see burst. Evil has no picnics planned, no three-day weekends fishing at the cabin, no trips

Why The Government Hates the Tea Party

Here’s why the government hates the Tea Party: because the Tea Party was the first inspired, spontaneous entity to call the government out on its political agenda.  This makes the Tea Party officially cooler than all the biker gangs and clubs

The Grounding of Big Government

You remember near the end of the Monty Python flick, The Meaning of Life— that scene featuring Mr. Creasote? He’s the morbidly obese freak who gorges on food, until finally, after eating a mint offered by the waiter, completely explodes, sending

Thankful for Weiner

I want to personally thank Anthony Weiner for deciding to run for Mayor.  Anthony, thank you. Somewhere, Andrew Breitbart is smiling.  Perhaps because he knows that there are, in all likelihood, still more pictures floating around somewhere. I just hope,

Thankful for Weiner

Gut Check: Intervention

When I watch that really depressing TV show Intervention, it’s only to feel better about myself. It’s one of the great benefits of television: it’s personal therapy that elevates self-esteem quicker than a pep talk from a noxious life coach.

A Friendly Note to Jim Carrey and Jason Biggs

Look: the Jim Carrey gun control video wasn’t about the second amendment. It was really about Carrey–a waning star embracing sanctioned targets to create the false front of intelligence. Sort of like America’s drone program. So it’s fitting we began

A Friendly Note to Jim Carrey and Jason Biggs

About Those Disenfranchised, Wealthy, Organic Chef Looters

So as the looting unfolded in England, many talking heads and politicians linked the violence to budget cuts. They painted a grim picture of a forgotten generation left without hopes or dreams. Yeah… About that. It should be no surprise

Benefit Cuts Cause Riots

So Freakanomics tweeted about a research paper linking budget cuts to social unrest in Europe. It claimed, “Once you cut expenditure by more than 2% of GDP, instability increases rapidly … especially in terms of riots and demonstrations.” The conclusion:

London Looters Are A-Holes

So as rioting in London spreads like plaque on rotted teeth, there’s something more toxic than the violence going on. It’s some of the reaction to it – which stinks of justification. Says one anarchist, while punks steal chocolate: “This

The Downgrade On Obama

So, it’s hard to judge this downgrade, because it’s like getting a report card from a drunk teacher. I mean – If these agencies were so smart, why didn’t they do it sooner? As Dana Vachon tweeted to me, Where

Tea Party Is the Punk Rock Movement of Politics

So remember the Coffee Party – the liberal, media-generated answer to the Tea Party? CNN covered it, so did the New York Times. And around the same time, Jon Stewart organized his rally to Restore Sanity, as a reaction to,

'Red Eye' Podcast: That Jerk In a Mosh Pit

Greg goes to a concert and talks about how mosh pits always have one jerk…and he may have been one of them. Due to the concert, Greg missed Franklin and Bash and worries that he let Breckin Meyer down. —–

'Summer of Love' Legacy Lives On

And so the summer of love has become a winter with hobos. I speak of Berkeley, where a spring forum was held by the chamber of commerce to discuss a sit-lie ordinance – which would ban sitting or lying on

So Much to Love About Mila Kunis

Ed. Note: Greg’s piece was written before Kunis killed the rumor (see below) that she might back out of Sgt. Scott Moore’s invitation. —– So I love Mila Kunis for two very good reasons. First off: she accepted the invitation

Daily Gut: On Tolerance

So, on Tuesday, Glenn Beck talked about how he and his family were harassed while catching an outdoor movie in Manhattan’s Bryant Park. Now, Glenn gets upset, a lot. So you never know how much is theater. But then Lindsey

Someone Needs to Tell Jon Stewart He's Lying to Himself

So last weekend Jon Stewart was interviewed by Chris Wallace on FNC. It was a feisty tussle, all about point of view. Stewart’s claim: Fox News’ perspective is ideologically based, following a predetermined right-wing blueprint. As for any lefty bias

America Hearts Obama: Time for a GOP Intervention

So Republicans are desperately trying to figure out how to beat Obama. You’d think it’d be easy: Look at the economy. It’s scarier than Kathy Griffin’s discarded spanx: Dreadful unemployment, a dying housing market, a crappy dollar, rising inflation. It’s

New Racism: Calling a Diva a Diva

So last week, the Cadbury candy company apologized to model Naomi Campbell. It seems their ad for Bliss chocolates used the line, “Move over Noami, there’s a new diva in town” – a play on Campbell’s adorable violent streak. Campbell

The Chris Titus Apology That Wasn't

So last night we discussed Chris Titus’s jokey death threat directed at Sarah Palin on The Adam Carolla Show . After an outcry, he apologized…on Facebook! He wrote: “More than anything, I made a joke about a horrible tragedy that

Brietbart: The Movie

So the perfect narrative for any movie is “David vs. Goliath.” The whistleblower vs. the evil corporation. the tough reporter vs the corrupt politician. the half-naked talk show host vs. a team of rambunctious houseboys. But for the narrative to
