A Spike Lee Joint! He’s a righteous jerk, surely, but the neighborhood-displacers he rails against might be even worse than him! Hollah! (Again, if you are around youngsters or mopesz with sensitive ears, put on the headphonesz!) Continue reading

Tuesday Sniping: Bracing-for-Rain Edition

All right, all right, ya schadenfreude-loving killjoysz! It will rain but hard here toward the end of the week: the strongest precipitation event in the metro Loss-Ankh-Hell-es area for two years is on its way and not even Jackie Johnson can stop it. The drainage at Santa Anita Park in picturesque Arcadia, Calif., will be tested severely. Have your bumbershootsz at the ready! Continue reading

Saturday! What, ho! No cancellations? Quick, somebody call that move.org petition site or however those Olympic Skating Complainers are doing it to be bulliesz about a result they don’t like. Sheesh. What if those millionsz were actually horseplayers…would they storm the stewards and judges and light up the toteboard the way they thought was correct? Sign a petition and be a bullie. Get offended and hire a lawyer to secure your redress, same difference. Nowadays, it seems, you can always bullie your way to what you want. Go to a steakhouse, send your prime meats back to the kitchen because you demand to have them burned to a crisp well-done. Ugh. This. There’s better outlets for outrage. Everyone’s an expert nowadays, everyone’s opinion matters. They call up Amerika’s Idle or SuperStar Dancers and feel like they can bullie their way to a result.

Gone is the era of experts. Personal taste has now supplanted expertise. The world used to work a whole lot better as long as you could let go, trust the experts, and as long as you didn’t always feel moved to pick up the phone or sign a petition or send the food back to the kitchen just because it didn’t turn out the way you wanted.
