It seems that some people think wearing a scarf supports terrorism.I think that maybe Malkin and crew are onto something here.It must have started when celebrity chef Rachael Ray visited the Middle East to do her "Gaza on $40 a Day" show. She was probably kidnapped and brainwashed. I could tell because she started making all kinds of foreign-type things on her "30 Minute Meals" show, like cous

It seems the Jersey Guys recently urged their listeners to photoshop a photo of them and send it in their site. Here's my version:Wow! Howard's already been doing this for ages. Like Howard, they also have a daily recap of their show on the site. These guys are so unoriginal, they have to lift Web site ideas from the King of All Media.I'd link to them, but why bother with the copycats when you

It looks like Jeff Whelan and Josh Margolin of the Star Ledger are taking the Fox News route, in a story about the McGreevey divorce:Some had wondered whether she knew about her husband's homosexuality and kept silent because theirs was a marriage of convenience, a suspicion McGreevey's book disputed."Some had wondered..."?

I just got done reading DJ Rix's account of his visit to West New York, or rather a waterfront development in West New York.While that spit of land between the Hudson River and the cliffs may officially lie within West New York's boundaries, it isn't really part of West New York. And Rix rightly refers to that in his post:The place we visited had a lobby with beautiful marble floors, nicely

A USA Today poll puts President Bush's approval numbers at 31%, meaning that 31% of Americans approve of the job he's doing.That means that even his base is lowering the lifeboats and deserting the sinking ship. Apparently, personnel changes (or to hold on to the sinking ship analogy, ejecting ballast) aren't/isn't enough.But what must really hurt is this:Only four presidents have scored lower

The paper paid for a colleague and I to go to a workshop today to learn some of Adobe's powerful design suite InDesign CS 2. The workshop was taught by Russell Viers, a very funny guy who knows his shit. He runs a company called Digiversity and has a blog as well, which can be found at -- get this -- yabb-adobe-doo.com.Besides some training tips, he's also got some fun stuff on there, especially

Rush Limbaugh insists he wasn't "arrested."He says he was "voluntarily processed."Now we already know Rush is paying a fine, but I wonder if he was read his Miranda rights before he was processed. If he was, that sure sounds like an "arrest" to me.

Please do check out theHosted this week by Ken Adams at SmadaNek. Ken bravely tried to set the Carnival's 50th edition to music, using Paul Simon's 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, but didn't quite make it -- and for good reason: As hard as I tried, I couldn't think of a more difficult song to attempt to do that with.Except maybe, Her Majesty by The Beatles.

I've never been a huge fan of country music, especially lately when it seems that most country artists feel that they have the lock on patriotism.But along comes one of the old-timers, a man not particularly known for leftist leanings who suggests we get out of Iraq.According to Wikipedia, Merle Haggard released "America First" in October, 2005 so it's been out for half a year already, but the
