Puppet Heroines

So I was watching this old-timey western called Support Your Local Sheriff the other night. There's a scene where the female protagonist storms into the courtroom and demands to be heard. The men in the courtroom act flabbergasted, and she tells them she's just as valid as any man, and goldarn it, ...

10 Things That Suck About Being Rich

As a serial entrepreneur, I"€™ve created and sold many companies over the years. From a media empire to an ad agency (we had quietly sold Rooster NY a year before it was shut down for transphobia) to some weird box that monitors your retail browsing, I"€™ve always peppered real estate ...

Enjoying the Race Wars? Thank the Media.

Yesterday, a massive brawl broke out at a St. Louis City Hall meeting that was called to investigate police behavior. A senator who works with the police unions stood up to defend the police and was quickly shouted down with: "€œYou white supremacist motherfucker. Get the fuck out of here."€ ...

Superman Is Boring

A common saying among Civil War buffs is: "€œPoor is the nation that has no heroes. Shameful is the one that, having heroes, forgets them."€ We"€™re quickly becoming a nation that can"€™t handle them. Though Clint Eastwood's new film, American Sniper, grossed millions, it also grossed out ...

10 Attacks Committed by Terrorists Radicalized in the West

A picture recently surfaced of radical Islamicist Anjem Choudary surrounded by beers and a girlie mag. He's presumably in college at the time and appears to be a perfectly normal British kid. Choudary has since become one of the most irritating fanatics in the Western world and has been accused of ...

Nous sommes tous des Français

The attack in France will likely empower fringe groups like the Front National and UKIP, but I don"€™t care about skinheads, even when they"€™re right. I don"€™t even care about terrorists. We always focus on the manhunt, as if these "€œlone wolves"€ were important, when the only thing ...

2014: The Year the Liberal Narrative Exploded

The only thing worse than a man is a white man, am I right? They start off as violent little bastards, biting Pop-Tarts into guns, and before you know it, they"€™re raping their way through college. The very privileged end up running corporations that pay women 77 cents for every dollar a man ...

The Trouble with Santa Claus

The average American family buys one or two presents for their kids and leaves the rest up to Santa. An informal survey I did among friends and coworkers comes up with 10% bought by parents and 90% made by Saint Nicholas. This may have made sense back when toys were defined as a wooden car for boys ...

Gabourey Sidibe

Gabourey Sidibe For President!

When I think about the America that led me to emigrate from Canada, I think of iconoclasts like Hunter Thompson, Lester Bangs, and Thomas Jefferson. Where Canada and Britain are so worried about what you think that they form committees for every complaint, America was all about "€œLove it or ...

Pirate Baywatch

Last week, we learned Sony Pictures had been hacked and millions of people were downloading movies still in theaters. Sony seems to think North Korea may be behind it all, as their forthcoming film The Interview was deemed an "€œact of war"€ by the Pyongyang government. It's about two CIA guys ...
