Read MoreIf you've watched an episode of Burn Notice on USA you've realized their basic premise is one story of the "burned" Michael Westin helping someone buried in a larger story of a struggle against the machine that is global security. If you've seen two episodes or three or all of them, you've noticed the same thing. It's not a bad shtick and it makes the show watchable because you're required to have almost no background to understand what's happening for most of an episode. I'll admit, it's gotten

Read MoreI spent part of my life down the street from my German grandmother. While other kids would get cereal or waffles for breakfast, I'd get a real breakfast. Eggs, sausage, bacon, toast, jam, whatever. It was great. My favorite was a variation of an Egg McMuffin that used a scrambled egg, veggie sausage patty and cheese on an english muffin. I called it the Egg McGunOak because my grandma lived on a street called Gun Oak Place and, even at a young age, I feared corporate trademark infractions. It wa

At age 12, the twin sisters played the dead girls in "The Shining," with their big-wheel excursions and bloody interludes carrying the movie from Stephen King hash into classic creepfest. It was the first and only acting job the pair has ever taken; both grew up, earned advanced college degrees and likely live normal lives outside of the ability to drop a nuclear bomb of a cocktail party sto

It passed, but he said he'd go back to Austin to repeal the unpopular sales tax. He didn't get the chance. He lost. And when an old woman at a grocery store approached the legislator to tell him the reason why she did

Read MoreBefore James Frey was a literary villain, he played up his obviously exaggerated (in retrospect) hardcore nature in interviews. Until the Oprah debacle, most reporters and literati sucked it down like sweet tea vodka at a KD party, but author/writer Neal Pollack didn't buy it. Probably because Pollack's whole image at the time involved mock self importance so convincing I was never fully convinced Pollack didn't believe some of it. Pollack pounced on Frey after the fraud bragged about eating wit
Read MoreIt's been 15 years since those of us downloading the web via NCSA Mosaic over 54k connections had somewhere interesting to point every day: Suck.com. Much of what passes for style in these parts and elsewhere - linking to other stories within text, "ironic" tone - happened first at Suck in its center-aligned columns. Like many pioneers, Suck was hailed, then slowly supplanted and tossed aside. It's now preserved in an amber of electrons on a server somewhere, where the people who now make a liv

Read MoreThere's a strange convention with all of Aaron Sorkin's TV shows, where he ends the first season with an episode entitled "What Kind Of Day It Has Been." In Sports Night it's the signaling of a positive direction for the show and the relationships of the people on it, in The West Wing someone gets shot, and for Studio 60 someone doesn't get shot. The point is, like Chekhov's quip about firearms in plays, people expect season finales to be big events worth remembering. We'll ignore Sorkin's obvio

Read MoreComfort food is a universal but somewhat contradictory concept, because comfort food rarely makes anyone feel better. Does chugging a pint of Cherry Garcia seem like a great way to respond to feeling bad about yourself after the stupid idiot you like says you look fat? No. Having some celery and going for a jog would be a logical response, but downing an entire plate of wings-n-waffles does feel better, because comfort is immediate.
