I woke up nude, covered from my neck to my knees with an American flag.  The room was dank, frigid, and smelt like an attic.  My body trembled from the cold air that had filled the apartment.  With the flag draped over my shoulders and pulled tightly around my upper body, I made my way [...] Continue Reading

A recent article on RasmussenReports.com entertained the idea that legalizing marijuana might actually do some good for the struggling economy. While the main focus of the piece is a recent poll stating that 40% of Americans favor legalization, it was the following excerpt that was the most interesting nugget of information in the article: The World [...] Continue Reading

Poverty One could argue the unfortunate trait that poverty possesses is its restrictive nature, a vile form of circumscription that prevents those affected from truly being able to lead a full and happy life. Poverty is a jail with no bars, no cell, no warden, but it confines just the same.  Freedom is not something enjoyed [...] Continue Reading

The epitome of the 21st century band, Blitzen Trapper self-released their first three albums.

Geraldo Rivera might be known for his mustache, but what he’s really known for is his massive ego and pseudo-intellectualism; his impassioned rants and his short temper; his toting of guns and his revealing of troop movements.  Basically, he’s known for being a walking caricature.  A man so oblivious to his own stupidity that he [...] Continue Reading

When I came across the following video as a result of that wretched and time-consuming application, Stumble Upon, I thought my preferences had been reset or that Stumble Upon simply crapped out and was sending me to whatever site was left to send me to. Then, at around 20 seconds in, the farmer being [...] Continue Reading

Maybe you have been lucky enough to see the following videos, but if you haven’t, then you are in for a treat.  Surely, during the days when music videos were popular and shows actually existed solely for them, you probably remember watching a video and wondering, “What the fuck does any of this have to [...] Continue Reading

Travis Pastrana’s new show on MTV, Nitro Circus, is nothing more than Pastrana’s own declaration of insane stunt supremacy.
