#RIPChyna – former WWE superstar becomes the latest victim of an industry where people are disposable and life is cheap (because that’s what’s best for business) I woke to the news this morning of Joanie Laurer’s death. Known to professional wrestling fans as Chyna – “the 9th Wonder of the World” – Laurer was only 45. Details aren’t available yet, but

This is what passes for reason inside the muted corridors of serious establishment “journalism.” Flipping through the morning’s news and I came across this: I really know dick about Collum Borchers (or the editors who write his headlines), but a quick look at his archive page suggests a faint whiff of Beltway/Village wankery.
Read moreAs noted last time, sometimes the dialogue in Big Bang Theory presents us with lines that just beg to be band names. Here’s my second set of 10. The first one is maybe my favorite of all. Pretty Boys in the Big City Ginormous Knob Penny Penny Penny
Read moreI love The Big Bang Theory and have watched all the episodes multiple times (some I’ve probably seen 20 times or more). I noticed that sometimes the characters say things that would make good band names. Or at least, perhaps, entertaining bands names. I have written some of them down and will present them in a series, ten at a
Read moreHail Caesar! was great, but it’s badly outnumbered by formulaic Hollywood rehashes. Back in the day I used to travel. A lot. As director of international strategy for a major corporation, I spent much of my life on planes. I actually once flew from Chicago to Milan for a one hour meeting, flying a red-eye out and the Concorde back.

But years of concussions took their toll, and finally WWE superstar Daniel Bryan has been forced to hang up his boots. He was a fantastic talent and he will be missed. Sadly, given all that we are

These things are not mutually exclusive. I want to show you two pictures – ones you may have seen recently – and ask you a simple question: what is being communicated? What are the subject, the photographer and the publisher saying to you?

Al Jazeera should never have gone public with the Manning/HGH story. Its only responsible option now is to fire everyone associated with it and apologize. A breaking report from Al Jazeera accuses Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning (and others) of using the banned substance HGH. FULL DISCLOSURE: a) I’m a Broncos fan, b) I usually find Al Jazeera to be one

Even in its darkest hours, Saturday Night Live has served as a springboard for wildly successful careers. For all but a handful of seasons Saturday Night Live has been nigh-on unwatchable. Still, it has generated a veritable conga line of major stars through the years – you may not even realize how long a line. So this came up recently as I
Read moreAs a performer and storyteller, Virgil Runnels became a working class hero because he was a man of the people. My best friend Jesse and his family were huge pro wrestling fans. I was pretty young at the time – no more than 10, probably – and I remember the Saturday, sitting in the living room at Jesse’s watching Mid-Atlantic Championship

Yawn. 2: I keep hearing people calling this the “fight of the century.” And by people, I mean beefwitted sports talk assclowns. Listen, douchenozzles, nothing involving two guys ten years past their primes who
