A new comic booking touting the righteousness and moral superiority of the right is set to hit store shelves in the near future. Liberality! will no doubt be a huge hit with the Pat Robertson, Bill Frist crowd.

There was the high octane classic Stealth:A pretty fair military-hardware action movie until you start thinking about it -- at which point it turns incredibly sour in your mouth.

If the verbal attacks are any indication the 2008 Democratic dream ticket of Clinton and Barack Obama may become a reality. Her keen political observations are hard to ignore:Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton went on the attack against President Bush in a speech Sunday, accusing him of damaging the economy by overspending while giving tax cuts to the rich. The Democrat from New York also accused Bush

We all knew it was coming, and it's no real suprise that Bill O'Reilly, the pillar of right wing moral virtue, was the first to do it. In one fell swoop O'Reilly called most Europeans idiots and used the tragedy of the London bombings to ramp up the rhetoric for the Iraq War:Generally speaking, the European media is viciously anti-American when it comes to the war on terror.

I promise that, unless Maverick goes totally bonkers, this will be my last Cruise Missile post. I couldn't pass this up:Tom Cruise’s sci-fi seduction technique scared the bejeezus out of Scarlett Johansson, a source close to the actress says. Weeks before he began wooing his brainwashed bride-to-be, Cruise made repeated phone calls to the 19-year-old starlet—who was then set to co-star with him

This week's roundup of things that make me confused, befuddled, stunned, and totally frightened. It seems the U.S. gov't has taken an unhealthy interest in what its citizens read:Law enforcement officials have made at least 200 formal and informal inquiries to libraries for information on reading material and other internal matters since October 2001, according to a new study...In some cases,

Ashton Kutcher goes 'method' for his Dukes Of Hazzard audition. It must be tough for a real (*ahem) actor to lose out on a part to Johnny Knoxville who, according to sources, is an actual skid.(please note: all of the above is completely made up)

Ahhh, another beauty movie review from Pajiba.com. These guys crack me so thoroughly up:You know, The Perfect Man really caught me off guard. Not because it's a terrible Frankenstein mishmash of contrivances; not because it's pointless waste of time and money; and not because it shames the usage of an artistic medium. What really caught me off guard was how offensive all of it was. Quite simply

God help us all. It's official, Captain Scientology (seen above doing his patented 'My penis is this big' move) proposed to Katie Holmes last night at the Eiffel Tower:Appearing with Holmes at a Paris news conference, the 42-year-old revealed how he had chosen the city of romance to make his move.

The results of Terry Schiavo's autopsy, released earlier today, support her husband’s position about her 'vegetative' state. The autopsy also confirms, without a doubt, that Republican Senator Bill Frist (M.D.) is a complete flippin' idiot. In one of the lowest and most thinly veiled political gambits of the year Frist stood in front of the Senate and made a 'diagnosis' based solely on a family

It sounds as if director Chris Nolan got it right this time around:This is at last the Batman movie I've been waiting for.
