Monday, June 15th, 2009I love it when a celebrity and/or entertainer uses their fame or money to help the public. This is even better when the action they take benefits children.

Iron Man 2 – Whiplash
Thursday, June 11th, 2009Well the first photo of the new villian in the 2010 sequel to Iron Man has been released. The villian is called Whiplash, and he is played by Mickey Rourke.

His 4 year old died due to an accident in her home. I [...]
DMX should love Arizona
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009Did You hear about the slap in the face of Justice? I’m not talking about the defense’s claims in the Merserhle case (he killed Oscar Grant on January 1st this year), but DMX in Arizona. Yes, DMX – otherwise known as Earl Simmons or by his inmate number – has skated away from the repercussions [...]
Colbert earns a salute in Iraq
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009I want to salute Stephen Colbert. I’m sure he expects it, of course, but this time it is deserved. Because of what he has done for our troops in Iraq. By now everyone has had the chance to see the new Colbert haircut. And how he got it. Under orders by the Commander-and-Chief himself (that [...]
