On Why Can't Johnny Breed?

Ugh. Relax. It's a silly inside-ish joke with saythatscool. It has nothing to do with gender roles or the like. Besides, I make my sons wear black leather ball-gag/humiliation masks to school, and those are clearly just for girls!

On Why Can't Johnny Breed?

You know who's gonna be confused when the time comes for some intimacy? That Jolie-Pitt kid with the "mixed up" private parts, that's who.

On Why Can't Johnny Breed?

Won't these selfish children please think of the poor hack journalists who depend on at least one "teens blow/finger/rub each other more than ever" trend piece each year? What are these writers supposed to do now, write TWO "vitamins' benefits remain dubious" pieces this year?

On 10 Rap Songs On Which Ladies Outshine Their Male Counterparts

I hate to quibble about just one of these tracks (especially because I agree with the rest (to at least some degree)), but I can't get behind putting Self-Destruction on this list. Because the song is sofa king wack, nobody involved exactly covered him/herself in glory. That said, implying that Chuck D., KRS-One, Kool Moe Dee and Doug E. Fresh were outshined (outshone?) by MC Lyte is heresy to this old-ish rap fan. And I like MC Lyte just fine. She's just not in the same category (in my opinion) as those MCs (unless the category is "Early to Mid- 1980s MCs"). If your point is that she outshined/outshone D Nice, Heavy D and the Stetsasonic guys, I can't disagree. So, yes, MC Lyte probably did outshine SOME of her male counterparts on that one, but certainly not all of them. And, no, I won't admit that Miss Melodie trumped anyone on any song ever. Sorry, KRS-One.

On Boycotting Koch Products is Not Just Fun but Mostly Remarkably Easy

I hope this makes those bastards nervous. There's nothing I'd love to see more than a big, sweaty Koch.

On Woman Has Close Encounter With Wild Wolves

I had a similar, albeit less fortunate, experience. In 2006, I proposed putting a glass tower of more than 20 stories atop the old Sotheby Parke-Bernet building at 980 Madison Avenue, in the Upper East Side Historic District. Some neighbors were none too happy with the idea. One night while walking home, I was struck in the back of the head with (what turned out to be) a cane. I went down in a heap and my assailant whispered, "You are not Charlotte Simmons, bitch!"

On Dead Man Really Hated President, American Cancer Society

Around the office, Jim would joke that "we'll all be frozen food some day." Then he'd air a general complaint and use the "n" word.

On Lucinda Williams Makes Up For Lost Time

I feel your pain. After "Like Father, Like Sons" in 2000, it took Nelson 10 years to release "Lightning Strikes Twice." I blame Gunnar.
