The Mother Corp is killing Street Cents. Idiots. And notice that story went up after 5 on Friday, suggesting the powers that be have picked up the devious politician’s trick of leaking bad news after the weekend’s begun and nobody’s paying attention. Fuckers. Watch the Thursday Coast for more on this stupidity.

The New York Times just posted an obituary under the headline “Gen. Alfredo Stroessner, Colorful Dictator of Paraguay for 35 Years, Dies in Exile at 93” Here’s a sample of what the piece says about Stroessner: “Under General Stroessner, Paraguay’s security forces became so efficient at intimidating potential opposition figures that eventually fear itself — […]

Mark Palermo, Megan Wennberg, Stephanie Domet and myself all have short films in the Atlantic Film Festival. There will be much linkage once the AFF announces its full slate at the end of the month. You can buy reasonably priced packages here. And because everything needs a blog, here’s mine.

I was well on my way to declaring Justin TImberlake’s “SexyBack” as brilliant until I saw the plot-a-confusing video. Watch closely…he rips off her pearls, yadda, yadda, more hotness, yadda. Wait. She reaches for the nightstand drawer. He stops her. What do people keep beside the bed?? Condoms!! Yes, they’re spies or whatever, and sure […]

How sad to see former phys ed teacher and current premier Rodney MacDonald ending his marriage. After campaigning like a Republican on the value society must put on the family unit, he must feel like a big lying hypocritical failure. Unless he’s happy to be proving the adage “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, […]

Last Thursday’s “Reality Bites” criticized Halifax for fawning over 8-year-old Arjun Thaker. Then Friday’s Herald said Arjun is dying. What the? According to all the coverage of Thaker’s trip to the east coast—and there’s been a lot, lead by the Chronicle-Herald but picked up by such organs as the National Post—he’s a regular boy from […]
