Goodbye Mr. Wuhl

Tonight I had the great displeasure of watching Robert Wuhl's new program on HBO titled "Assume the Position" as in "take my idiotic propositions as fact." This is yet another reason to hate the smug pomposity of the HBO network - here a "comedian" edutains a group of NYU film students by teaching an alternate history of the USA (and at times the world). How alternative? How about having the entire classroom chant that "Star Fucking is as American as Apple Pie"? - no, I'm not kidding. You see, Mr. Wuhl believes that "pop culture is history" and that is the root of his problems - he must live a tormented life.

It is a sick, pathetic use of money and time - but what can you expect from a man who's wife is "to the left of Lenin". [That's a direct quote from Mr. Wuhl]

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well.

Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Blue Devils and Yellow Cowards

A few weeks ago Duke lost Coach K’s last game at Camron Indoor Stadium to the schools hated rival, North Carolina University, in an epic grudge match. It was an “ unacceptable ” finale for the maniacal ferret-faced competitor who created the 40 year dynastic Duke hoops program with 1,000+ wins and fists full of ACC and NCAA championships but for Tar Heels everywhere it was a day of retribution. Michael  William Krzyzewski, is a red-blooded All-American college basketball coach of Polish and Ukrainian descent who grew up in Chicago’s famous Ukrainian Village which is (or at least was) culturally very reminiscent of the Rus borderlands. That is to say that young S h-shef-ski   grew up as  far away (psychology) from Dixie as is possible while still living within the borders of the USA. That makes him the perfect choice to represent Duke University and the Yankee overachievers who emigrate to Durham for 4 years of education and networking before moving back to...
