You know, that is, when he’s not trying to keep fetuses alive and prevent dicks from being in asses.
Santorum also raised $10G from Wal-Mart’s PAC and has pushed most of the mega-retailer’s D.C. interests — paying less overtime, protection from lawsuits, and freedom from the inheritance tax, among other things.
But what wasn’t reported — until [...]

We Always Knew Lenny Dykstra Was Kind Of A Dick

Monday, April 25th, 2005

But you know what? It has nothing to do with steroids and gambling. So why is he being singled out now?
Former Phillies outfielder Lenny Dykstra joked in the past about the “special vitamins” he took to help him bulk up in 1993.
Oh, because it turns out that he was always kind of dumb, too.

Will The Real Rock Snob Please Stand Up?

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

Because we have a problem. Whether you’re Jonathan Valania, Dan DeLuca or the guys who actually came up with the concept in the first place, we need to somehow un-clusterfuck you. You’re blocking all the new ideas, and all of the girls are starting to leave the party. We hope you’ll understand. Thanks.

Spring Fever Strikes Pressler

Wednesday, April 20th, 2005

And it looks a lot like L-U-V!
…Therefore we were forced just to take in the sheer creepiness of the man himself: lumpen form in exaggeratedly weird clothing, extra-super-thick glasses, oddly puffy lips and affected, heavily enunciated way of speaking. All of which were the precursor to the creepiest thing: the soft, unnaturally [...]

He Is NOT The Worst Mayor!

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

Let the quibbling begin. Tom Ferrick is the first out of the gate today with this bit of moral relativism:
John Street one of America’s worst mayors? Give me a break.
John Street isn’t even one of Philadelphia’s worst mayors.
Inky: I Won Worst Mayor And All I Got Was This Lousy Column
Backstory: What, Me Worry?

Tuesday, April 19th, 2005

“IF HOWARD ESKIN continues to trash my show, I will reveal things about him that he does not want revealed,” says Angelo Cataldi.
