Quote of the Day


"I've just gotten word that in the next hour, Shakira and Big Bird will also be issuing endorsements, and we'll be having live, Team Fox coverage of that! Shakira, Big Bird and Donald Trump."

-- Shepard Smith, during his Fox News show this afternoon

Oh, please, please, please let Trump, thin-skinned pussy that he is, issue one of his famously condescending and dismissive responses to this so Shep can continue to wipe the floor with him.

Headline of the Week


Because it's just so fitting: Duh.

Pink Slip


I'm still on a pretty tight deadline so I don't have a lot of spare time, but this morning no fewer than three readers reached out and asked me to say something, anything about the fact that the Susan G. Komen people -- otherwise known as "Breast Cancer Inc." -- pulled all funding from Planned Parenthood. One person, in particular, implored me to do it for all the breasts I've fondled throughout my life (which for the record is a pretty good pitch, albeit one that seriously overestimates the generosity of most women).

Bottom line: I don't have the time, although I'd have plenty to say on it since my mom recently underwent treatment for breast cancer and was forced to submit, somewhat at least, to the Kult of Komen.

Thankfully, my friend Mary Beth Williams -- who's also battling cancer and who recently received some excellent news on that front -- tackles the subject quite nicely and even-handedly in Salon right now.

This is actually damn cool.

DJ Xam on YouTube does some pretty incredible mash-ups, and here he took Editors' Papillon and combined it with INXS's Suicide Blonde and Need You Tonight.

Hear the result for yourself.

"I'm Crazy and I'm Right"



This just in.

Holy hell does this give me chills and make me want to start breaking everything in sight at the same time. If you've never seen the Prodigy live, you don't know what you're missing -- but this should give you some idea.

Here's Smack My Bitch Up, live, along with some backstage stuff.
