A National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) press release announced today that Geraldo Rivera will be inducted into its Hall of Fame next month.
This would be a very nice accolade if it weren’t for the fact that Geraldo Rivera founded the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.
In other news, the Moustached House of Douchebags Hall of Fame will announce this year’s inductees next week. Fingers crossed, Geraldo.
The Adrenaline ‘Dominate’ Button, Famous Gerontologist Sounds Like Crazy Russ, An Ethical Treatise on Advanced Review Copies, the Third Sign of the Apocalypse, How to Make it in the Fantasy Fiction World, Eunuch Rabbits, Quaid Discrimination, and The World’s Video – “One of the Great Moments in Human History.”
Richard Fleihr, 21, son of WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, was arrested Sunday when officers found heroin inside his car. Apparently Fleihr was setting up for his patented double-axe handled syringe-injector suplex, when a Charlotte police officer executed a dramatic wrist lock immobilizer.
Though this was Fleihr’s first recorded smack-related arrest, he had been booked on a DUI less than two months ago, and was driving without a valid license. When the arresting officer pointed this out, Fleihr raised his hands to an invisible crowd and shouted “Wooooo!”
While I can’t embed it in the page like I usually do for you lazy internet folk, I’m going to recommend that you flip over to this interview:
Tremendous piece by Bill Moyers’ Journal on The Wire, The Drug War, the corruption of American ideals, and the inevitable end of the American Empire. It’s all in there. You will learn more from David Simon here than in any civics or business class you have ever taken. So, click over and grow your brain immediately.
Last week, I posted the viral sensation that was Billy-Bob Thornton’s tirade on a Canadian talk show. Today, a very insightful blog has extracted the subtext from the entire exchange and added it in closed-captioning form. Fun stuff…
A hearty congratulations are in order. Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter feed reached the pinnacle of uselessness this week when it became the first to garner 1,000,000 subscribers
Enjoy the pandering for Twit sign-ups as his mom/spouse, Demi Moore, scolds him for getting too worked up in his electioneering.
In narrowly beating out CNN to the million mark, Kutcher will now undoubtedly hold a virtual monopoly on the dissemination of Twit-centric retellings of mongoloid celebrity Punkings.
I’ll fully admit I’m not a House fan (though I am a fan of Hugh Laurie)–pretty much anything which goes out of its way to be gross at all costs isn’t likely to be a must (or ever) watch for me. But this story cracked me up. Apparently this guy:
Where the hell is Harold?
…is on House, or was (I just know him from the White Castle stuff). He’s killed himself off, you see, because…um…well…the actor is going to work for Barack Obama.
Yeah. Pretty much that’s it. Evidently Kal Penn, who plays the character Kutner on Fox’s mega hit, has been hired to be an associate director in the White House Office of Public Liaison–which Penn describes as continuing dialogue between citizens and their government and which actually means continuing the Re-Elect Obama 2012 campaign. (Hey, I love Obama–was honored to vote for him, have mostly been impressed with him as president thus far–but let’s call a spade a spade, folks.) I’m not sure what’s so tremendous about this job, but hey, working for the prez is a cool gig, I guess. So Penn told the show’s producers about it, and they decided to handle things by having the character kill himself, utterly out of left field. They even called it that:
