There are detractors, non-patriots if you will, who think the US may be in some sort of slow societal retrograde. I for one know this fear is unfounded and we’re fine. Like a politician during campaign season says, I believe one needn’t look any further than the backbone of our nation, Middle America, to know [...]

In a comically sad move, Frito Lay will no longer be packaging their delicious Sun Chips in biodegradable bags because too many cosumers have complained that the bags are too noisy.
The WSJ broke it to me here.
Just let me get fat in silence. That’s all I ask.

Lately I’ve been reading Paul Greenberg’s galvanizing book Four Fish, which tells the story of 4 overfished fish: The sea bass, cod, some wild salmons, and blue fin tuna.
I don’t feel like writing a book review here because I’m not very good at writing them and no one would read it anyway. Instead, I’d like to quickly [...]

I’ve got my fair share of gripes for Dov Charney, the captain of perversion, and his brainchild, American Apparel. But you’ve got to give them a little credit for producing something so outlandish. Behold. It’s the douche Moo-Moo.

My dad recently gave me a NetSpend gift card for my birthday, and while I obviously am grateful for his generosity, this thing sucks so bad I almost want to throw it away and screw the $100 it came loaded with. It is a wretched product, that from what I can tell is designed to [...]

I don’t know about you, but in my day-to-day urban dwelling I constantly find myself wanting an axe. Subway turnstile broken? Goddamnit, why don’t I have a cold forged steel axe to chop this f’er down? Cab door jammed shut and can’t get out? Chop a new cab door. These are all very common happenings [...]

I’ve spied these utterly ridiculous sandal concoctions on many women lately. They look like flesh sleeves for the foot.

High Fructose Corn Holing
Way back in the year 2000, before railing against high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) was cool, I was reading about the history of the cloying viscous liquid in Eric Schlosser seminal book Fast Food Nation. More than debating how humans metabolize HFCS and whether it’s that much worse for us than [...]

2 quick nonessential observations;
I read today that Hollywood is apparently losing its appetite for overly plastic surgeried women. Fake boobs and taught lips are on their way out as casting directors begin to look for natural sag and those actors who rock what they’re born with. This made me think about all of the young, [...]
