4/16: The More Things Change...

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:42:25 PDT
Lately, every day feels like Groundhog Day in the political blogosphere. Conservative bloggers continue to direct most of their fire at Barack Obama, portraying him as an out-of-touch elitist with radical views. Meanwhile, liberal bloggers are simultaneously defending Obama against these attacks while going on offense against John McCain, portraying him as an unabashed hawk, an economic ignoramus, and a hypocrite on campaign finance reform. However, it's apparent that the anti-Obama narrative i

"A True and Defensible Populism"

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:44:14 PDT
That's how Patrick Deneen puts it. If Obama's gaffe has had any kind of meaningful consequence in the political life of America at this moment, it is that it has forced some truly brilliant political observers and thinkers--Patrick foremost among them--to reflect on class divides, class perceptions, and how both of those phenomena haunt even populist efforts to bridge them (or, perhaps more accurately, to empower those on one side of the class divide). I cannot do better than to quote him a leng

Ask the Body Shop!

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:48:13 PDT
Hey y'all! Some of you may know that I used to work at The Body Shop back in the day. I loved the job... learned a lot, and made some lifelong friends. It was a blast! One thing I remember especially was watching the training videos for the then-newly released makeup line. I loved The Body Shop's head makeup artist, Chase Aston, both for his helpful tips ("bend the mascar wand when applying to another person's lashes") and his lurrrvely accent. So when I got the opportunity to ask Chase some of

Speaking at the Las Vegas Writer's Conference I am taking a couple days off from my law practice to work on my so-called writing career. The Las Vegas Writer’s Conference, which is sponsored by the Henderson Writers Group, is being held this weekend at Sam’s Town. The Henderson Writers group publishes anthologies of short stories by its members. The latest, Writer's Bloc II, contains one of my short stories: "The Lost Art of Conversation.

Frontier (FRO) on Wallstrip…Runaway Trends Continue..Oil, Metals, Agriculture…Where they Stop NOBODY KNows

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:56:10 PDT
Too many people calling for tops in Gold, Oil, Euro, other metals and Agriculture. Combines with their strength and basic momentum, they are busting out to new highs all over the place. The railroads are doing the same thing. Today, we take a look at Frontline (FRO) on Wallstrip. Brian also takes a look at the technicals for the stock: None of these areas are sexy, easy to understand, or fun to own (even though they are since they go up every day), but the trends show no signs of impend

Historians Speak for History

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:58:41 PDT
…insofar as how it will remember George W. Bush. President Bush often argues that history will vindicate him. So he can’t be pleased with an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted by the History News Network. It found that 98 percent of them believe that Bush’s presidency has been a failure, while only about 2 percent see it as a success. Not only that, more than 61 percent of the historians say the current presidency is the worst in American history. “Informal” is right. Wh

Trend Alert: You Can’t Help But Be Happy When Dressed In Bright Colors

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:02:47 PDT
Of all the spring 08 trends, I’m most excited that the designers en masse have gone cuckoo for color. After a dreary (and seemingly endless) winter, I’m drooling at the prospect of a lively, fresh spring wardrobe. I’m also ready to throw my black DKNY wool trench into the fireplace. Any day now… The great thing about the bright color trend is its versatility – you can go nuts with color, or just add a few accent pieces to your warm weather wardrobe and liven up your look that way. Of course, th

Appliancist at KBIS 2008 - under Metallo Arts Chevrolet hood

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 11:22:44 PDT
When we made it to Metallo Arts exhibit and saw this vent hood, the first question was of course, if it works. It sure does and this unique hood is made with genuine parts of 1950s Chevrolet - sorry not sure exactly what year or model. If you are interested in buying, provided it is still available, contact Metallo Arts. The company is also about to unveil the new version its Rangehood Builder, which should be quite something.

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

HULIQ (press release), USA
 

Tricia Walsh Smith Vents Youtube Divorce

 
Not only is Youtube (Web Video) good for sharing Music Videos and TV Broadcasts segments, but apparently its a great tool to use when trashing soon-to-be estranged spouses as Tricia Walsh Smith invents new style of divorce: Youtube Divorce.

Former actress and playwright ("Bonkers") Tricia Walsh-Smith, vented ALL of her frustrations out against her husband, Philip Smith, President of the Shubert Organization, the largest theater owner on Broadway, on Youtube.

Famous Divorce Raoul Felder who represents Tricia Walsh Smith says, "The situation is funny but Divorce isn't". "This is a victim who is holding her head up. I think she comes off well."

On the taping of this already famous YouTube Divorce video Smith bashes family members who gave her hell and tells the world how her husband, is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment.

Tricia Walsh Smith also makes embarrassing claims regarding their intimate life, and then calls his office on camera to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant in the divorce video put on YouTube.

Norman Sheresky, a Partner in the Matrimonial Law firm Sheresky Aronson Mayesfsky & Sloan says, "I don't think it's the kind of thing people should be doing, and it's the kind of thing judges frown upon".

"This is absolutely a new step, and I think it's scary," said Bonnie Rabin, a divorce lawyer who has handled high-profile cases. "People used to worry about getting on Page Six (the gossip page of the New York Post). But this? It brings the concept of humiliation to a whole new level."

To date Tricia Walsh Smith's YouTube Video (below) has been seen by more than 150,000 viewers.

"Pretty soon we'll have to fly naked!" The mass media rapidly embraced the UK terror storyline fed to them.

The reaction was surprisingly cynical...

How juicy political legends and myths like “Hidden Agenda” are written

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:58:11 PDT
How juicy political legends and myths like “Hidden Agenda” are written 1. As a general matter, simply watch the state-owned CBC Newsworld channel or any of a number of other liberal media outlets. Legends and myths appear as if out of nowhere. For example, just now: On the CBC Newsworld channel, in the middle of the newscast, a guest expert on all things political, Susan Delacourt, a political columnist from the liberal-left’s Toronto Star, suggested that Prime Minister Harper is an “unf

Local politics are on blast in this amazing documentary that highlights how politics are horrible. Seriously, horrible! The film surrounds a 2002 Mayoral race in Newark, New Jersey between Cory Booker & Sharpe James. This movie is urgent. This movie is not just a portrait of corruption, scandals, and how politics are so corrupt, it is a symbol of change and substance that we are hearing about today. This movie shook my foundation. THis movie shoved the political system into my face, and

CBC’s expert “news” source, Huffington Post: participants wish Dick Cheney dead From what seems to be the source of sources for the far-left’s state-owned CBC Newsworld and their crack squad of news producers and anchors (see below), we get a taste of the left’s brain trust. This is how liberals at Huffington Post think when Vice President Dick Cheney visits Iraq, as he is now doing.

OK. The Home Made Stupid Squad (a moniker aptly used by my friend Jesse) strikes again! I seem to have struck a chord with this post, in more ways than one: not only did I get quite a few encouraging comments, but someone or a few someones at Procter & Gamble suddenly started reading this blog! Welcome! So, again today I tuned into Newsworld for my fix of news, and lo and behold, there was Madame Woodburn once more, this time tut-tutting in her posh accent about how having a "beautiful fra

CBC’s oft-used source for political experts —the Huffington Post —in new hate du jour Here’s a bit of a post from the infamous Huffington Post web site, the web site which the state-owned CBC seems to use as a go-to place to secure folks to act as guest political experts for their Newsworld news channel. They ask questions of the Huffington Post experts in order to fully inform Canadians, CBC-style. Canadians, bereft of news otherwise, could, the CBC may well think, benefit from this kind of

A Viewer Speaks

WE GET A good group of commenters here in Sticksville. Lately, we've been hearing quite a bit from a young woman from the Prairies, who has an openminded attitude toward Canadian shows, and an engaged and passionate way of defending them. On the subject of all the changes going on at the CBC, I think she's expressed the necessary corrective point of view better than Richard Stursberg, Kirstine Leyfield, or anybody else at the public broadcaster has managed to do. So I'm bumping her comment here
