i lost track of bryan ferry years ago. but what is it with men tossing their wives over and abandoning their grown children to replay their swinging bachelor years. doesn’t he know that any twentysomething backing singer would love to hang out with a pensioner with wads of cash and give birth so as to insure that she is taken care of while he is in the afterlife. just ask rupert murdoch.

Sunday, March 30th, 2008vogue and anna wintour get it all wrong with lebron james
Saturday, March 29th, 2008the new issue of vogue features lebron james in a hulking pose next to a fay wray-like waif called gisele bundchen. is it racist? you betcha. was it done intentionally? well aside from wintour’s lone BF who interviews the likes of gwyneth paltrow and has most likely never stepped foot in a black neighborhood, one could conceivably give vogue a pass, like bill clinton might say. but i have chosen not to.
although the real controversey is, why is it that the umlaut in bundchen’s name is yanked out in american publications, i would suggest annie lebovitz and anna wintour pick up a copy of any random book on semiotics especially the ones written by umberto eco.
emo in mexico
Thursday, March 27th, 2008i’ve always detested this term ‘emo’ when it started being used in the 90s to describe the sound coming from these chicago and dc indie record labels. emotional teen angst it was. although a lot of 20 somethings embraced it as well. at the moment, i can’t for the life of me recall one viable band from this era. but the look of the so-calle movement is so 1980s. the sound is grounded in the 80s as well. think morrissey and the smiths. whiney wrenching music with a touch of the euro-trash look. apparently emo has made it to mexico. and this is not sitting so well with traditional macho-latin culture.

chelsea versus monica lewinsky
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008of course this video is still making the rounds. ‘that’s none of your business!’ she screeched at a poor unassuming young man. this being indiana, where even the locals are proud to be called hoosiers and even the democrats are right wing republicans, chelsea was most likely questioned about the monica lewinsky scandal by a member of you know, young americans for freedom. but the real question is, what will be the long-term fall-out for chelsea clinton who is almost 30 and makes around 300K per year from a hedge fund, bitching out a poor indiana college student? will the college co-eds at butler boycott hillary clinton during the indiana primaries? you know, the primary hillary clinton forgot to register for because she just knew she’d have the nomination wrapped up after super tuesday.
wall street journal still thinks u.s. is superpower
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008the wall street journal still mistakenly believes that the u.s. is the sole superpower in the world. perhaps rupert murdoch didn’t get the memo. 1.) the u.s. is broke 2.) the blunder that is the iraq war 3.) see china.
chelsea clinton barbara streisand separated at birth
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008chelsea clinton, the kid who makes 200K plus slugging away at a hedge fund –which apparently has no qualms with giving her extended time off hopefully with pay, was in bloomington indiana today whooping it up with a bunch of people. indiana is the only place in the world where people are proud to be called hoosiers. during her speech, chelsea was asked about her mother’s bosnia-pinocchio moment. to which she basically replied, ‘i support my mom.’ maybe she meant as in old age. hillary claims she was sleep-deprived and misspoke. could it be possible that she was having a post-menopausal-senior moment? sinbad, where are you when we need you?
